Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 I came across Nisargadatta's teachings for the first time at this site: www.ccnet.com/~rudra/yoga/nisargad.htm I fell in love shortly after reading these words of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: " The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: 'Who am I?' After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The 'I am' is certain. The 'I am this' is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not - body, feelings, thoughts, time, space, this or that - nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand that on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realize that you are the limitless being. " ---- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj is peculiarly free from all disparagement and condemnation, the sinner and the saint are merely exchanging notes: the saint had sinned, the sinner shall be sanctified. It is time that divides them, it is time that will bring them together. The teacher does not evaluate; his sole concern is with 'suffering and the ending of suffering'. He knows from his personal and abiding experience that the roots of sorrow are in the mind and it is the mind that must be freed from its distorting and destructive habits. Of these the identification of the Self with its projections is the most fatal. By precept and example Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj shows a shortcut, alogical but empirically sound. It operates when understood. " Source: www.ccnet.com/~rudra/yoga/nisargad.htm --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I had participaded of several learning´s groups here in Brazil, about several philosofy and masters,for several years, always looking for a better way to understand the Atman, the mind, the body, but when I heared in the site the title: THE SELF STANDS BEYOND MIND, I had one insight, a thru insigt and I got the realization and I become myself free. It was wonderful, because I do not need more looking for nothing in the mind, but only going ahead observing the mind/body, and time after I made myself the witness. Today all is very easy to me.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I $££ M£, I$ THI$ WHO I AM ! To me everything seems very easy and swell, since I obey my mirror, I do what she wants me to do, if it is to read all the posts here on Nis, that it is that. Since I became a mirror I obey, at the same time I have control, I desire freedom and liberation for all beings on earth and beyond the world. I'm aware that at one point in time I will answer my own posts, maybe in the same, maybe in a different body, and if that is it, that is it. As long as I don't know I'm free to believe whatever I want, when I know, the truth about the mirror the internet, the no sphere, all of that vast non consciousness of mine, ... it turns into my obligation to help the seeker search herself. And what better tool could there be than a mirror, if one is truly in the search for the self. Hope you enjoy.
