Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 .... Isn't everything you're talking about a concept? Of course! The only truth which is not a concept is the sense of presence, here and now. In the impersonal sense of presence, "I Am", not "I am Joe or Jane". This impersonal sense of presence in the present moment is the only truth. Whether it is Maharshi's approach, or Maharaj's or yours, it is a concept. Oh yes, but both of them made it perfectly clear: nothing has been created, nothing has been destroyed. It's all a dream, and there is no individual, other than an appearance in Consciousness. Does awakening lead to awareness which persists twenty-four hours a day? Yes, but there is no one to be conscious of that awareness. That is the key to the whole thing. There is no individual, no ego to be conscious of that awareness. Awareness is just there! ... Conversations with Ramesh S.
