The Direct Path, Nisargan, Non-Duality Pointers Offered in Two Sets of "Final Talks"
You now have several options regarding what could be deemed "the central elements that 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..
SET ONE :
THE POINTERS OFFERED IN 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 and Truth.
8. Understand what the Ultimate Sickness is and what the Ultimate Medicine is which can treat it.
9. Transcend body, mind, and personality identification and understand that it is impersonal consciousness which continues for the remainder of the post-realization manifestation.
10. Understand that realization cannot happen unless one transitions personality-based fears and desires (which also requires the abandonment of all religious and / or spiritual personas that 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.
13. Know the nothingness.
14. Be unconcerned.
15. Abide with dignity and take mahasamadhi with dignity.
To be continued.
