TODAY’S CONSIDERATIONS
To review the key pointers that would be offered were the taking of mahasamadhi only hours away:
A. The source of all relative problems always involves fanaticism.
B. Fanaticism is always rooted in the agendas of personality identifications.
[Why is that the case? Because only ego-states can provide the mental compost heaps required for fanaticism to take root and bloom into the idiocy displayed by zealots and extremists and all other types of believers, whether the zealotry involves being fanatical about a “love” interest; or involves being fanatical about one’s children or pets; or involves being fanatical about a fascist politician; or involves being fanatical about one’s race; or involves being fanatical about one's favorite sports team or athlete;
or involves being fanatical about one's religion (which is never consciously chosen but is merely passed down by one’s parents and grandparents); or involves being fanatical about some philosophy or ideology; or involves being fanatical about seeking; or involves being fanatical about the object of one’s addiction(s); or involves being fanatical about the desire to be seen as a spiritual giant; or involves a xenophobic attachment to one's nation; etc., etc., etc.
Want to truly know Love, the unicity, peace, and the wisdom which comes with the full light rather than just giving lip service to those? Then stop being fanatical about anything.]
C. Fanaticism also works hand-in-hand with higher-than-ever levels of the Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder are manifesting around the globe.
To summarize some of the other key pointers which would be offered if the final talks were limited to what could be shared during the final three hours of the manifestation:
1. Find the simplest version of these teachings.
2. Abide naturally.
3. Seek no identity, including "good" ones.
4. Rest in the awareness of the nothingness.
5. All things relative and Absolute is much ado about nothing.
6. Settle not for instability.
7. Question.
8. Be free of the effects of your programming, conditioning, domestication and acculturation.
9. March to the beat of your inner guru.
10. Transition both religious and spiritual concepts.
11. Understand that there are hundreds of sources of pain, that there is only one source of misery and suffering, and that you must return to the mind-less "Child No-Knowing Stage" is you would be free and happy.
12. If you would abide naturally, find either a guide or a model that is abiding naturally.
13. You Really Can Just Be (Without Being Anything or Anybody).
14. Be still and know that you are and know that you are that so that you can be still and know that you are so that you can be still and know so that you can then just be still so that you can just . . . be.
15. Above all: be love, but then live in an "as if" fashion so that you can enjoy love as a relative expression of absolute and Real Love as well.

“Two Sets of ‘Final Talks’," Part One
You now have several options regarding what could be deemed "the central elements which are at the core of” the Direct Path, Nisargan, non-duality teachings: you can consider the topics discussed in Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's final talks; the pointers offered in the "final" talks offered in this book; the pointers included in both sets; or none of the above.
Today:
KEY POINTERS FROM SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ'S FINAL TALKS
1. All relative problems are rooted in the mind and in personality.
2. See the illusion that all things relative are.
3. Understand "the awareness which is not aware of" and how that awareness-energy temporarily manifests as conscious-energy.
4. See the falsity of all things thought to be personal.
5. Understand that the relative continues post-Realization but with "Reality" having been overlaid upon it.
6. Accept the uselessness of knowledge (a.k.a., learned ignorance).
7. Stabilize in Reality (as well as reality) and Truth.
8. Understand what the Ultimate Sickness truly is and what the Ultimate Medicine truly is which can treat it.
9. Transcend body, mind, and personality identifications and understand what impersonal consciousness truly is.
10. Understand that "Realization" cannot happen unless one transitions personality-based fears and desires (a transcendence which requires the abandonment of all religious and / or spiritual personas which have been assumed).
11. See that the love of "knowledge" is based in egotism and then allow all knowledge to "go into liquidation."
12. Realize that the end of the manifestation of the conscious-energy is also the end of bondage but that the bondage can end even as the manifestation continues.
13. Know the nothingness.
14. Be unconcerned.
15. Abide with dignity and take mahasamadhi with dignity.
To be continued.
