So Werner, was Nisargadatta in a perfect state of awareness at each

moment? for example, if you ask him the routine movements he did ten

minutes or an hour ago, would he recall them in detail? would he for

example misplace his cigarette lighter?

Hmm Eric,

 

I don't know, even if I would have personally known Niz I couldn't

answer that question. But what help is it for me if Niz was a perfect

aware being when next time I forgot the keys to my house and no

longer can enter ?

Sorry i did not explain it correctly; do you think that realization is

awareness of each moment? for example, if you ask Nisargadatta the

routine movements he did ten minutes or an hour ago, would he recall

them in detail? would he for example misplace his cigarette lighter?

Memory........arises......may or may not get used......disappears.

 

In Awareness.

 

The appeared-disappeared object labeled Nisargadatta.......was not

Nisargadatta.

Eric,

 

I am not an expert in realization and what I have read about that in

different books is more confusing than helping.

 

I do here my daily little things and if Niz was able to completely

recall the routines of an hour ago maybe he better would have earned

his money in tv shows than with selling cigarettes :)

 

Werner

So are you clear about your expectations in realization, like, if you

wish that one day you'd " realize the self " , what would change in you?

....

because, one thing is sure, you cannot desire something you can't

define, right?

or do you tell me that you are not a seeker?
