"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

All Is One Self

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Jan 10, 1981

Q: Consciousness thanks consciousness over and over again.

M: That about which nothing can be said, I have said. Accept that drop, taste it and swallow it. 

Hear this: God can exist only in the heart of man, not elsewhere. You identify with the body and limit yourself, and yet, remember, do not neglect this body, this is the house of God, take care of it. Only in this body can God be realized. It is only for an analytic understanding that God, your body, your Self, have been divided, but it is one Self, each is intimately related.

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
