How To See The World As God?

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

It is like entering a dark room. You see nothing -- you may touch, but you do not see -- no colors, no outlines. The window opens and the room is flooded with light. Colors and shapes come into being. The window is the giver of light, but not the source of it. The sun is the source. Similarly, matter is like the dark room; consciousness -- the window -- flooding matter with sensations and perceptions, and the Supreme is the sun, the source both of matter and of light. The window may be closed, or open, the sun shines all the time. It makes all the difference to the room, but none to the sun. Yet all this is secondary to the tiny little thing which is the "I AM". Without the "I AM" there is nothing. All knowledge is about the "I AM". False ideas about this "I AM" lead to bondage, right knowledge leads to freedom and happiness.
