Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` When the mind is quiet, we come to know ourselves as the pure witness. We withdraw from the experience and its experiencer and stand apart in pure awareness, which is between and beyond the two. The personality, based on self-identification, on imagining oneself to be something: ŒI am this, I am that¹, continues, but only as a part of the objective world. Its identification with the witness snaps. - Nisargadatta Maharaj ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` " I Am That " Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj The Acorn Press, 1973 ..
