Alton-Nisargadatta Quotes

[Guest guest]

Hi Alton,

 

Only words can be used on a forum like this. Would you like better

to hear some of "mine?"

 

"When the supremacy of the illusory entity 'me' is challenged, the

reaction is invariably hostile. The 'me', fearing its own demise, is

both unable and unwilling to trust anything or anybody. It is

ceaselessly in rebellion; against 'itself', against 'others',

against 'life' and against 'death'. The nature of the 'me' is

inherently 'anti-life' and 'anti-love'. It can do nothing but react

to perceived threat. It is a pocket of unlife, a static, dead and

nonexistent 'entity' bracketed by illusory ideas of past and future,

consisting only of fear. Its only interest is to continue at all

costs."

-- Omkara

 

Namaste,
