"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

Aum


In that unitive state there is neither father, nor mother, neither worlds nor gods nor even scriptures. In that state there is neither slayer nor thief, neither monk nor ascetic. The Self is beyond good and evil, beyond all suffering of the human heart. In that state one sees without seeing, smells without smelling, tastes without tasting, hears without hearing, thinks without thinking, for there is nothing separate from him.

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
