Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
If you want to remember our coming here this morning, treat that as the highest god which gives us the sense of presence - this conscious presence, which makes us feel that we are, we exist, we are alive, we are present. If you do, it will unfold itself nd gives us all the necessary knowledge.
You must have the firmest conviction that this consciousness is our parent principle, the highest god; then you will have all the necessary knowledge. If there is one principle which can save us, which is our only capital, it is that which gives us the sense of presence, this consciousness. Be one with it, pray to it, and treat it as the only god. Whatever we have, whatever we acquire, is only because of this consciousness, and to be one with it we don't require any implements, any instruments, any money; there is no expense involved!
This consciousness is free of inhibitions, any conditions, and being without obstructions, it is totally free. If we resort to it, it will make us also free.
V: Why is it that the jnani is not aware of the universal knowledge?
M: Why is the space unaware of anything that has happened? How is it that the sky is not affected by events happening on earth? Behind the four elements - air, water, fire and earth - the space is always there.
V: What is meant by a "pure heart"?
Interpreter: Please don't ask frivolous questions. Whatever energy one has to spare, let us spend it on valuable questions.
V: One question usually leads to another, and there has got to be a starting point somewhere. So a question like this is moving ahead a little bit, stimulating more questions.
I: Here it should be just the other way. The frequency of the intensity of questions should be getting less and less. If your questions are multiplying, something must be wrong somewhere.
V: Yesterday I came here and found the I AM. What do I do now?
M: Nothing else, that is all. You forget it and go!
