Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
November 7, 1980
Q. Consciousness is time-bound, so whatever I am, is it also time-bound, or is there something which is eternal?
So long as the body is there you are this consciousness, but once the body and the consciousness go you are that original state upon which all this has come as a temporary state. Your original state is changeless and permanent.
The difficulty comes because you are all searching for That, forgetting that That is what you are. You, as the subject, are seeking you as an object. You are what you are seeking.
The moment there is a pose, there is fear. Anyone who has assumed the pose of a seeker will be bound to follow the traditional practices as a seeker, and the limitations.
What is the purpose of all that I am saying? It is a direct attack on identification with the body-mind. So long as that identification is there my direct attacks will continue.
Once dis-identification with the body-mind takes place, brahman will come with folded hands to your feet.
