"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sat-Guru Is Your Nature

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

August 1, 1980.

Abide in the high state. You have to do nothing, only the listening. If you listen correctly, everything will happen. Now I have told you what this beingness is, it is the outcome of the five elemental play; the knowingness is the result of this food body, and you are not that. So why worry about the departure of this knowingness?

Have you understood that you are the witness of the consciousness that appears on you? You are not the consciousness, you are not the knowledge, sat-guru is your true nature. 

The final meaning of all this sadhana is you. Whatever is, you are.

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
