Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Nisargadatta...The deep blue state Snips from Prior to ConsciousnessThe state of the jnani, the highest state, has transcended the beingness, but the beingness is still there, so together with the beingness is the Absolute-the deep blue, benign state, without eyes.Knowledge takes rest in that deep blue, quiet, peaceful, benign shade. When that shade is shifted aside, then he sees the various manifestations in the form of universes and worlds. But when the shade is there it is the deep, dark blue state, fully relaxed.You must come to a firm decision. You must forget the thought that you are a body and be only the knowledge "I Am," which has no form, no name. Just be. When you stabilize in that beingness it will give all the knowledge and all the secrets to you, and when the secrets are given to you, you transcend the beingness, and you, the Absolute, will know that you are also not the consciousness. Having gained all this knowledge, having understood what is what, a kind of quietude prevails, a tranquility. Beingness is transcribed, but beingness is available.Q: What is that state?M: It is something like a deer taking rest in the shadow of a tree. The color of the shadow is neither light nor very dark, this is the borderland. Neither jet bright nor very bright, halfway between them, that is that shadow. Deep blue, like clouds, that is that state. That is also the grace of the Sat-Guru. Everything is flowing out of that state, but this principle does not claim anything, is not involved in anything that is coming out of it , but this beingness is a available. That deep blue state, the grace of the Sat-Guru. This is the state of the jnani, this is a very , very, rare, natural samadhi state, the most natural state, the highest state. the fruition of your spirituality is to fully understand your own true nature, to stabilize in your true identity. One must have patience, the capacity to wait and see.. The darkness that you see when you close your eyes, that is the shadow of the Guru's grace. Whenever you remember the words of the Guru, you are in the shade of the Guru's grace.Ultimately, everything merges into the Self. You may come across great difficulties, but you courage and stability in the Self should be firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
