Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 nisargadatta: you are the SElf here and now. Leave the mind alone, stand aware and uncovered andyou will realize that to stand alert but detached, watching events come and go, is an aspect of your real nature.......... question: what are the other aspects? nisargadatta: The aspects are infinite in number. Realize one and you will realize all. question: Tell me something that would help me. nisargadatta: You know best what you need! question: i was born, i shall die nisargadatta: can you truely say you were not before you were born and can you possibley say when dead " Now I am no more? You cannot say from your own experience that you are nt. You can only say *I Am " Others too cannot tell you " you are not " nisargadatta: Realizaion is but the oppposite of ignorance. To take the world as real and ones self as unreal is ignorance, the cause of sorrow. To know the self as the only realty and all else as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy..It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are...It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also shou you your own face. The thought " I Am " is the polishing cloth. Use it. question: Kindly tell us how you realized? nisargadatta: I met my Guru when i was 34 and realized by 37... devi: i met my Guru when i was 27 and realized by 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
