Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Nisargadatta: When you pursue this spiritual path of understanding the Self, all your desires just drop off - even the primary desire, to be. When you stay put in that beingness for some time, that desire also will drop off; you are in the Absolute. Q: That is what was happening today, and there is a certain sadness, in realizing that, and yet, a great understanding of the Absolute. Nis. It is only that consciousness constantly repeating, receding from the Absolute, there is no movement for you - It is minding the show. When you are in consciousness, you understand the nature of consciousness. This consciousness is extinguishing, knowingness is disappearing, but nothing affects you, the Absolute - that is the moment of death, but what matters? The vital breath is leaving the body, the " I Amness " receding, but the " I Amness " is going to the Absolute. That is the greatest moment, the greatest moment of immortality.

The vital breath is leaving the body, the " I Amness " receding, but the " I Amness " is going to the Absolute. That is the greatest moment, the greatest moment of immortality. Clearly this moment of death is not " elsewhen, " otherwise how would he be attempting a description. Also, description is only superficially useful at best. It may open someone to the possibility of something with greater depth than their usual " consciousness. " But for that actuality to " grab " them is entirely different than processing words about it. Any description is deceptive, because it implies a distance between the event described, the one who is describing it (who experienced it/understood it) and the one it is being described to (who has yet to experience or understand it, presumably). -- D.

The vital breath is leaving the body, the " I Amness " receding, but the " I Amness " is going to the Absolute. That is the greatest moment, the greatest moment of immortality. By the way, by using the word " immortality, " he keeps the great human hope alive, that somehow or other " I " will be immortal. " I " will be one with the Absolute. He is selling hope to the religious mind here, maybe in spite of himself, or maybe understanding that is what he does. That is what " holy teachers " have sold since time immemorial. And look at all the good that has done in the world ... Smiles, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
