Sample text
Similarly, the beginning of consciousness is like the center of a wheel; that point is steady, constant. In a human being that is the most constant principle. Since the day I was born until I am dead, that consciousness principle is there at that center. As you merge into the world, the movement increases. Watch Talks ofNisargadatta Maharaj I 57 56 I Consciousness and the Absolute that center point, watch that movement of consciousness. Chaitanya and Chetana, that central, stationary point of the wheel watches the movement of consciousness.
M: Witnessing happens. Remember one thing, I am addressing my talk to the message "I Am". Q: How can I communicate with the "1 Am", how can I listen? M: Listening will come spontaneously--just as you wake up spontaneously and fall asleep spontaneously. Don't make any effort. I did not extract my beingness from "there" and insert it into "here". It is happening spontaneously, and therefore I am experiencing it. During these talks you have gotten very angry; this is in the zone of mind modifications - it is not a reflection of your consciousness.
One in a million understands all this play of consciousness, transcends it. Q: What is death? M: Death is also a hearsay. Have you experienced death? Having followed the course of spirituality, you have come to the end of personality and there is no more human being. There is only impersonal consciousness. In this realm of consciousness all that is going on is dynamic playfulness, a process of functioning. There is no differentiation in this process as to a person, an entity, a community, a creed, a religion.
