RESTING IN THE SENSE "I AM" - PART 11

This series is a collection of pointers or teaching aphorisms by Nisargadatta Maharaj on resting in the sense “I Am” without attributes. Remember, to know Yourself, return to the silence before words. There are millions of visions and experiences present in the seed of the ‘I am’, but being aloof and unconcerned about them is the key to go beyond. The most relaxed state is this ‘I am’ state – free from all fear and anxiety.  –       Nisargadatta Maharaj Notes on this preliminary stage can be found  here .

RESTING IN THE SENSE "I AM" - PART 10

This series is a collection of pointers or teaching aphorisms by Nisargadatta Maharaj on resting in the sense “I Am” without attributes. Remember, to know Yourself, return to the silence before words. What is wrong is that you consider yourself to be limited to this body and shape. What knowledge I try to give is given to the knowledge ‘I am’ in each of you, which is the same. If you try to get the knowledge as an individual you will never get it.  –       Nisargadatta Maharaj Notes on this preliminary stage can be found  here .

RESTING IN THE SENSE "I AM" - PART 9

This series is a collection of pointers or teaching aphorisms by Nisargadatta Maharaj on resting in the sense “I Am” without attributes. Remember, to know Yourself, return to the silence before words. This knowledge is ancient ("Sanatan"), it has come from Eternity. From the eternal Absolute, which is ever there, a seed appears, that seed is the ‘I amness’. It appears spontaneously, its remnant is in us. This little seed (‘I am’) sprouts and the whole world is created.  –       Nisargadatta Maharaj Notes on this preliminary stage can be found  here .

RESTING IN THE SENSE "I AM" - PART 2

This series is a collection of pointers or teaching aphorisms by Nisargadatta Maharaj on resting in the sense “I Am” without attributes. Remember, to know Yourself, return to the silence before words. The sense of 'I am' is your own. You cannot part with it, but you can impart it to anything, as in saying: I am young, I am rich etc. But such self-identifications are patently false and the cause of bondage. –       Nisargadatta Maharaj Notes on this preliminary stage can be found  here .
