Nisargadatta..The consciousness itself is a concept

[Guest guest]

Prior to Consciousness snipped.

Q: By the grace of Maharaj I find that now my eyes are able to see and my ears

are able to hear.

M: what the eyes see and the ears hear is only the false. Both will disappear.

You are that which witnesses.

Q: What we hear at the feet of Maharaj is something that is ever new.

M: What I am telling you about can never be new or old - it is unchanging,

everlasting.

This consciousness is which concepts arise is itself a concept. and so long

as consciousness remain all other concepts will continue to arise. The Absolute

unmanifest is what is. What ever we think about that Absolute state can only be

a concept, until the consciousness ends and we are in the Absolute state.

One achieves something and onY guards it, but how long can you guard it?

Only until you are in deep sleep. you have a fond concept and you hang on to it

all day; in deep sleep where is that concept?

Q: How does Maharaj talk to us if he does not accept individuality.

M: The sun does not shine for individuals. The words come out of the

consciousness, spontaneously, as part of the total functioning. There are any

number of experiences, some of them you like and you keep them in your memory

and pamper them - that itself is suffering. All you experiences should be just

part of the total functioning, happening spontaneously.
