Nisargadatta contradicts himself???

[Guest guest]

fox,

 

You seem to be assuming that because his bodymind yelled at somebody

that he was taken out of being-consciousness-bliss. Maybe that

person needed to be yelled at at that moment. That quote was

meaningful to me because I have been asking the same question (in

many different forms) for a lot longer than two years. This includes

reading books, websites, etc., looking for the " answer. " When I do

read or hear something that makes me go " aha! " it's because it

resonates with something I already know! So it's as if I'm addicted

to getting the " aha! " from outside sources, when the " aha! " is right

here. The problem is not that I don't know the answer. The answer

is pointing directly back at myself. The problem is that I would

rather keep asking the question than look at myself and see what I am

doing. That's what Nisargadatta was telling that person.

Is it true that Nisarga claimed the following:

 

 

To me nothing ever happens. There is something changeless,

motionless, immovable, rock-like, unassailable; a solid mass

of pure being-consciousness-bliss. I am never out of it. Nothing can

take me out of it, no torture, no calamity.

If so, how could one possibly understand this reaction:

 

This is not an exact quote, but close enough. Nisargadatta (not one

of your

more patient gurus) screamed at one of his questioners:

 

" Are you some kind of an idiot? You've been asking me the same

question for

two years! "
