"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

Primary God

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
October 1, 1980.

The body has importance only because the "I Amness", the consciousness, is dwelling therein. If the "I Amness" or consciousness is not there the body will be disposed of as refuse. Call that knowledge "I Am" as your Self, don't call the body as knowledge.

The knowledge "I Am" is the primary God;  meditate on that only.

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
