Sometimes I experience

the state of lying in some rubbish.

 

Other times I experience

that people are worshipping me.

The experience of the two. Rubbish feels slimy, has a certain smell,

and all that. Worship perhaps has the feel of feet being touched,

may smell like incense, and all that.

 

Given that the experience of the two differ, it comes down only to

experience. Perceiving and conceiving of things (For convenience

sake I include feelings/emotions in the category of " concepts "

although the experience seems somewhat different).

 

These manifest things are reflections. The Real is beyond, yet

without it nothing manifest would appear, or appear to appear. What

we are is beyond any of this, yet also the 'prime cause'.

Nisargadatta: " Consciousness is the body of the Supreme. "

 

The difference between rubbish and worship lie in the experiences of

a particular body/mind. As seen from here, *the assumed difference*

is what is unreal, not the (appearance of) rubbish and worship. As

long as consciousness continues, rubbish and worship may appear...

how they are conceived of and appear changes all the time.

 

Thankfully Nonduality (and Nisargadatta) does not negate the

manifest. :-)

 

Namaste,
