Consciousness and the Absolute

[Guest guest]

March 4. 1981

 

Maharaj: How did you get this "I Amness"? Did it come

spontaneously, or did you try for it? As the Absolute, you were free

form all concepts, including the primary concept "I Am", suddenly you

were caught up in this "I Amness". Who did it? Has it not happened

spontaneously?

Questioner: Yes, that is true.

M: You did not have this concept " I Am" in the course of the nine

month in the womb. Understand this state of affairs; the concept "I

Am" comes spontaneously and goes spontaneously. Amazingly, when it

appears, it is accepted as real. All subsequent misconceptions arise

from that feeling of reality in the " I Amness". Try to stabilize in

that primary concept "I Am". In order to lose that and with it all

other concepts. Why am I totally free? Because I have understood

the unreality of that " I Am".

I offer my salutation to all the prophets, creeds, religions,

etc. I know they are not real; they are only the play of this

consciousness. The truth, the Eternal, cannot be witnessed. It ever

prevails.

In you true state there are no words, but you think yourself

important and you embrace many words. Poor human beings are caught

between worldly life and spiritual life. One in a million understand

all this play of consciousness, transcends it.

Q: What is death?

M: Death is also hearsay. Have you experienced death? Having

followed the course of spirituality, you have come to the end of

personality and there is snot more human being. There is only

impersonal consciousness. In this realm of consciousness all that is

going on is dynamic playfulness, a process of functioning. There is

no differentiation in this process as to a person, and entity, a

community, a creed, a religion.

In this flash of your consciousness, all this play is going on.

The play will come to an end.
