Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
September 28, 1980.
Consciousness is an aid to know. Presently that consciousness knows itself as the body, it should not be so, consciousness should know consciousness bereft of body sense.
Understand logically what I have been telling you again and again. This "I Amness" is the outcome of the food which I eat. Am I the food? No, I am not; the outcome of the food I also am not. All will realize this knowledge, but presently you are caught up with this intimacy with the body. "I Amness" has no authority of its own; it is a puppet in the play of the five elements; it is an outcome of the five elements. The one who expresses "I was not", Its position is secure and stable and eternal.
Whatever you witness will not remain with you. It is imperfect. The One who recognizes the imperfect is perfect, It is total, It has not to with anything for Itself because it is perfect and complete in Itself.
