Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Q: What is the primary cause? What was the crime?
M: The crime was that this consciousness started feeling conscious, the mischief started. Whether you like it or don't like it, I am going to place before you the factual state of affairs. You know you are - but it is all imaginary. You think you are - but it is a fraud. Whatever the nature of the beingness and its behavior, it is not your behavior.
When you abide in your true identity you are out of this mischievous dream world. I have placed before you what you are.
All of you have the fear that you are going to die, that this consciousness is going to depart - all the expressions are the expressions of the food essence body, not you. Sweetness or pungency are the expressions of the food, you cannot conserve or preserve them. In the same way this I AMness is a quality or expression of the food essence body, and you cannot retain it forever.
