THE PLAY OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS - PART 3

Everything manifest is simply the play of the five elements - space, air, fire, water, earth.  The series will share the View of  the  elemental  interplay of "material life", the sense of beingness or "I Am", and the Absolute state which is prior to and gives rise to this elemental play. Consciousness is the product of the five elements and their interactions. Consciousness is present as long as the five elements are present. When the great dissolution of the universe occurs, there is dissolution of the five elements, and consciousness also finishes. But the knower of consciousness, the Absolute state, is unaffected. In that state there is no fear of anything. Even when there is total destruction, the Absolute is merely watching, being in a state of witnessing.  –       Nisargadatta Maharaj Remember, to know Yourself, return to the silence before words.

THE REALIZED STATE - PART 1

This series will offer direct pointers to the natural state. What these pointers do is illuminate the way – revealing the cul-de-sacs or false paths.

You may change your mind or your body, but it is always something external to you that has changed, not yourself. Why bother at all to change? Realize once for all that neither your body nor your mind, nor even your consciousness is yourself and stand alone in your true nature b...

WAKING, DREAMING, DEEP SLEEP AND THE ABSOLUTE - PART 14

Just as in the seed the whole tree is latent, so in the droplet “I Am” all three worlds are squeezed in. In the process of knowing that droplet, you are out of it and you watch the play as a witness. This droplet of knowingness, is a result of the food essence body; in understanding it, you are out of it. If this last step is taken, knowing that I, the Absolute, am not that droplet, the consciousness, it has to happen only once. There is no more involvement with the play of consciousness. You are in a state of no return, the eternal state.  –        Nisargadatta Maharaj Remember, to know Yourself, return to the silence before words.
