CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE ABSOLUTE

Maharaj: Nothing in the world is of any use to me. That very identity with

which you try to understand everything is unreal. Daily you have to convince

yourself about yourself. You have to carry out your life, first of all assuring

yourself that you are. Nothing has happened except the knowingness, only a

pin-prick of knowingness against the background of your innate nature of

no-knowingness and this is of no help at all.

 

I don't have any identity arising out of consciousness.

 

Presently this body is undergoing a lot of agony: dizziness, pain, all these

things are happening at the physical level. In spite of this state, the talk

comes out inspiringly. What permits that? It is the guna, the beingness. That

beingness not only experiences your visits here, but is also experiences various

changes and transformations in this body and in the world.

 

 

 

Sometimes I experience that state of lying in some rubbish and other times I

experience that people are worshipping me. But that is all in the realm of

consciousness. I realize this is all the outcome of that birth principle " I

Am".

 

 

 

Will the space and the stars feel unhappy about the dirt in the world? It is

part of the game in that universal space. Consciousness is subtler that space.

You are bent on having knowledge at the most mundane level, but what ever

knowledge you collect is bound to disappear.

 

There is only one truth in the world, and that is that everything is unreal. I

am the unmanifested talking through the Manifest. When the body, the mind, the

vital breath drop off, nothing happens; only I, the Absolute prevail always. No

knowledge is called for to understand this truth because that knowledge is

innate.

 

What you have leaned here will be your guide. The sprouting will take place.
