"Nullification"

"Nullification"

 

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj speaks of focusing upon "I AM," of holding

tenaciously to the sense "I AM." Also, "I AM" is a commonly used phrase

associated with nonduality that is assumed to be nondual in nature. But "I

AM" is still dual. "I AM" suggests an entity, and a state of being of that

entity ("am-ness"). If "I AM" can be true, then "I AM NOT" can also

be

true. This is duality.

 

Thus, let us take a step beyond "I AM." Let us focus simply on "I." There

is nothing else. There is no state of being, no existence, and never was.

There is only "I." Meditate upon "I." Know yourSelf to be "I." Know

everything to be "I." Know the entire universe to be repeating that same

word, "I." The Self knows the Self as "I."

 

"I" neither is, nor is not. "I" has no state. "I" is without form,

and

void of attributes. "I" simply *IS*. Meditate upon the I. You are the I.

There is no "AM" and there is no "AM NOT." There is simply "I."

 

"I" is nondual. "I" is what you are. "I" is Ultimate Reality. Let

us

dispense with the popular phrase "I AM."
