The point in this series is that the non-dual message has long been widespread but has seldom been understood either then or now. 

A DEEPER LOOK AT SOME OF THE POINTERS OFFERED BY SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ 

At the request of some visitors, further discussion or explanation of some of the Maharaj pointers shared recently is being provided. 

To continue with three quotations related to yesterday’s pointers: 

5. “Out of my existence as the Noumenon has come this state of the phenomenal. The homogenous understands the play of the attributes, the projection of the mind, but the play, the projection of the mind, cannot understand the homogeneous." 

The “homogeneous” is also referred to as “the unicity,” “the oneness,” “the singleness,” “Advaita” (a = “not,” dvaita = “two, thus, “not-two”), or “the non-dual.” 

If a state of awareness is reached during the manifestation as a result of discarding all learned ignorance, then the homogeneous is understood. Understanding the unicity / the not-two-ness then allows for understanding the projections of the mind and for seeing the mind's nonsensical beliefs which can then lead to freedom from what Maharaj alluded to, namely, the “ignorance and stupidity and insanity” which is stored in the mind.

6. "Prior to taking this form, you were formless; spontaneously the form came, and when the form came there was a natural longing to return to the formless state. When you want to return to the formless, desireless state, then only you come here. The consciousness has to know the consciousness. When it realizes itself; then only do you return to normal." 

As noted yesterday, the manifestation of conscious-energy within the space formed by an elemental plant food body (or within any other space in any other thing for that matter) happens spontaneously, automatically, naturally, and without cause or purpose. The formless state refers to the “original nature,” meaning the state prior to manifestation. It was a desireless state (and also a fearless state) because there was no “one” there to desire or fear anything. 

The “no one there” expression points to the fact that in the pre-manifested state, there is no aware-of-ness and no conscious-of-ness. The potentiality for either or both of those to occur rests in the chance happenstance that a speck of consciousness / conscious-energy becomes pulled into a series of events which allows conscious-energy to manifest in a space which, in turn, facilitates an opportunity for conscious-of-ness to experience realization which can lead to aware-of-ness happening as well.

7. "The world is nothing but the picture of your own 'I' consciousness.” 

Should conscious–energy manifest within a human version of a composite unity but involved human human never becomes totally awake, aware, and conscious, then a play will happen during which the mind never understands the homogeneous nor the unicity nor the oneness nor the singleness nor Advaita / the not-two nor non-dual. 

(As one man reported recently, “So what. It's obvious that does not matter because we've see that such persons can now grow up to be the President of the United States.” 

F.: “No argument from me there. Ha.”) 

When freedom from belief in lies does not happen and when realization (the recognition of and discarding of all learned ignorance) does not happen, then persons will believe in a false image of “a world” and believe they know exactly what  it is like as their minds take the false impressions and bogus perceptions which come from their blocked / “contaminated” consciousness as “the real.” 

Then, as happens with the non-realized masses who habitually "upgrade and / or downgrade everyone and everything," they will take their belief in this imaginary world and will upgrade it and invent an imaginary "heaven" and believe in that or they will downgrade it and invent an imaginary "hell" and believe in that. 

Then they'll spend an entire relative existence exhausting themselves with their religious workaholism or their spiritual workaholism in their efforts to try to earn the reward of an eternity in one as they try to avoid the punishment of an eternity in the other.

To be continued.

Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "God," the "Son of God," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns. 

THE EXPLANATION 

If looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they are worthy of some attention during the relative existence. 

Meaning? There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept of God in the past was of a weak God, an absentee God, A Santa Claus-type God, a mean, punishing, vindictive God, etc. Today, I am in close contact with a loving and caring God whom I worship and praise and glorify and give thanks to." 

The reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a God that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly"). 

Next, in the phrase 'loving and caring God,' any supposed God that truly had her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part of that phrase is 'God' and that the only part that is relevant is the "loving and caring" part. 

"That is, a non-narcissistic god / goddess would say, "I care not an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'God' and focus on the 'God as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you." 

Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on: 

"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within" 

--Yeshu'a (Jesus) 

and 

"Heaven and earth shall fade away." 

--Yeshu'a (Jesus) 

and 

"Heaven and hell are not geographic places 

but are states of mind, nothing more than 

concepts dreamed up by men." 

--Pope John Paul II 

"There is no hell." 

--Pope Francis, the current pope 

in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari, 

a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record 

teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium. 

[That said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional courage required to question the very existence of their institution in light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of billions of their members past and present. 

And that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will they? Not likely. Why? 

Because what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the international crime families which hold sway over the masses as criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major international crime families and which are the most influential and have the largest memberships? 

The Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion followers) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank); Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.) 

With all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the driving forces at play. 

The masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]

A DEEPER LOOK AT SOME OF THE POINTERS OFFERED BY SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ 

At the request of some visitors, further discussion or explanation is being provided in regards to some of the Maharaj pointers shared recently. 

4. Maharaj said, “From the Absolute no-knowing state, spontaneously, this consciousness ‘I am’ has appeared—there is no reason, no cause.” 

“Absolute” has been defined variously as: 

total / complete 

or 

existing independently and not in relation to other things; not relative or comparative 

or 

not qualified or diminished in any way 

or 

which may be viewed without relation to other things 

or 

“pure” / the same in all situations 

or 

free from imperfection. 

Does that make the Absolute or THAT or Awareness-not-yet-manifested something special or Special? 

Hardly. 

Many things in nature can have a pure or nearly pure version, a “pure substance” being defined as any single type of material which has not been contaminated by another substance. 

Pure hydrogen is a pure substance. So is pure honey, even though it consists of many different types of molecules. What makes both of these materials pure substances is that they are free from contamination. 

Most of the "pure substances" which you encounter in your daily life have been made pure by people through refining, such as gold, diamonds, water, baking soda, table salt, alcohol, etc., yet even those can be contaminated to some degree. (For example, what is advertised as “pure alcohol” is actually only about 92% alcohol). 

Consider the following about Absolute or THAT or Awareness-not-yet-manifested or awareness which has manifested in a space and in that form is referred to as “consciousness”:

All are merely a form of energy which can manifest in multiple ways. 

Awareness-energy can manifest within a confined space, such as “a human,” "an acorn," a “bird,” etc. It would have previously been “free-ranging” and - as noted above - exists independently and is not in any relation to other things and is not relative. 

When it manifests within the space formed by “a human,” “an acorn,” a “bird,” etc., it is no longer free-ranging and thus forfeits its original traits of not being qualified or diminished in any way and of not functioning in relation to other things. 

Having manifested in a modified version or form of “conscious-energy,” it operates in a manner that could be compared to “pure witnessing” as opposed to “subject-object (relative) witnessing” which inspires a sense of separation and then generates a duality-based view which say “I” (subject) see “you” (object”) and “I can relate you and you can relate to me.” 

Hence, “awareness” and “consciousness” are merely names which point to the same thing but are used to clarify the difference aspects of awareness which exist between it non-manifested state and a manifested state (as is the case with H20 which might manifest as "a puddle, a pond, a lake, a river, an ocean, sleet, snowflakes, a raindrop, a flood, ice," etc. . . , all the same but manifesting in different ways depending on surrounding conditions).

Manifested, awareness is as it was in its non-manifested state to the degree that there is no aware-of-ness; instead, consciousness prevails with its erroneous beliefs that “I am conscious of both me and of other things.” At that point, another original trait of consciousness / awareness is “lost,” namely, its “freedom from imperfections.” 

What are those imperfections? They are the beliefs – concepts, ideas, learned ignorance, etc. - which are passed along via programming, conditioning, etc. and which are taught and which block the manifested consciousness from seeing accurately and which prevent the awareness from being aware of itself and its former, original, natural state.

To remove those blockages (via the realization process whereby all beliefs and all learned ignorance are discarded) allows for the “contaminated” or blocked consciousness to shift from its subject-object way of perceiving and to begin to see in a non-dual, not corrupted, not-blocked manner of perception rooted in the perception of the unicity . . . the oneness. 

Seeing in that manner allows the pure consciousness to come to the forefront and that allows for the first time an understanding of pure, unblocked consciousness as well as an awareness of awareness. 

When that happens, then one can abide naturally as one’s original nature, free of all duality-based concepts and dreamed up self-perceptions and Self-perceptions for the remainder of the manifestation. 

Next, anther misunderstanding regarding awareness / consciousness involves the belief that persons have possessed some exact, ever-lasting quantity of consciousness. 

That is a fallacy, based in beliefs about memories and the notion that having memories from the early age of whatever to the present age of whatever requires the presence of some ever-present quantity of consciousness which was “there” throughout all ages and which allows memories of events throughout the ages to now be recalled. 

Now of that is accurate. Conscious-energy comes and goes, and no quantity of it remains in any given space or place. 

Consider: if one were to stop eating, as some imprisoned Irishmen did during the Irish hunger strike of 1981 in order to protest the atrocities of British rule, then one would – as they did – eventually die after a period of 48 to 73 days. 

In effect, those protestors “lost consciousness.” Consciousness is actually conscious-energy, and as with all forms of energy, humans must eat in order to replenish the stock of energy, including conscious-energy. Like all else, consciousness / conscious-energy forever cycles. 

It does not manifest and then forever remain within the confines of whatever space it manifested in at some earlier point. 

As with any composite unity – which is all a “human” is – there are earth elements, air, and conscious-energy moving into and out of the space formed by the element plant food. 

All three “come and go.” Elements are replaced regularly, the skin being replaced every 28 days or so. Similarly, the stomach lining which is exposed to acids and enzymes which can tear down meat, for example, works to break down all food; exposed to a constant supply of acid, the lining must be replaced every few days. 

The air cycles in and out of the space. Cut off the air supply and human life will typically end within a matter of minutes. 

As for conscious-energy, the same applies: it comes and goes and must be replaced if consciousness is to remain in any specific case. 

Moreover, because the "rule" is that all in the universe is changing and is in a constant state of flux, and because all on any given planet is changing and is in a constant state of flux, and because all in any composite unity / humans is changing and is in a constant state of flux, there is nothing on earth and nothing involving any human that is constant.

All in the relative existence is always changing and is impermanent, and what is permanent is only the energy / matter involved which is always changing and moving and contributing to the state of flux. What is real (energy / matter) is all that is real, and all else that is observed by the misperceiving masses is not the real. 

The example here is that a brick is not what it is perceived to be by the masses. Studied under an electron microscope, it is seen to be a swirling masses of subatomic particles moving about in what is mostly otherwise empty space and - in reality - looks nothing at all like what persons believe they see when looking at what is called "a brick."

So it is throughout the universe, throughout all other universes, throughout the relative existence on planet earth and, in fact, throughout . . . all.

Finally, note that neither the Absolute nor THAT nor Awareness-not-yet-manifested have any sense of self-ness or Self-ness. The misconception and fallacious belief that there is any truth to a self identity now or a Self Identity later is impossible during any no-conscious-of-ness or no-aware-of-ness state. The unmanifested awareness which can be understood during the manifestation (if pure consciousness is functioning) was previously in a state of no aware-of-ness and will return to the same.

Prior to manifesting, (1) there is no conscious-of-ness and (2) there is no functioning conscious-of-ness energy (either "pure" or "blocked") prior to manifestation, and the same applies to aware-of-ness as well. The same also applies to the post-manifestation state to which conscious-energy shall return.

Thus, “From the Absolute no-knowing state, spontaneously, this consciousness ‘I am’ has appeared—there is no reason, no cause.” 

The Absolute state is a "no-knowing state." 

If manifestation happens, it happens "spontaneously," meaning, "There is no reason, no cause."

That means (A) there is no reason - "no purpose" - for which any speck of Am-ness comes into a state of temporarily-manifested beingness and (B) there is no cause, hence, no Causer, no Creator, no Grand Conductor who is making anything happen or controlling everything that happens. 

Whatever happens, happens naturally, not supernaturally. 

Whatever happens is part of a cyclical, on-going process. 

Whatever happens, happens spontaneously.

Who does not want that to be the case?  Those who want control and who therefore want a power available to whom they can appeal to give them what they want now and to allow them to avoid what they do not want now and to give them eternal rewards later and to allow them to avoid eternal punishment later. 

In reality, control, power, rewards and punishment are all dreamed up concepts, used throughout the ages to control the masses by controlling, power-seeking humans, not by "gods."

"How do you know that, Floyd?"

"Easy: science. All is energy-matter and neither energy nor matter can be created or destroyed; hence, no Creator and no Destroyer / Punisher.

(See the details in the blue text after this post.) 

The point in this series is that the non-dual message has long been widespread but has seldom been understood either then or now.

A DEEPER LOOK AT SOME OF THE POINTERS OFFERED BY SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ 

Some visitors to the site have admitted that they can relate to the man who wrote that “there seems to be more to certain of Maharaj’s pointers than I’m understanding.” 

Indeed, but that can often be the case, especially for those seekers in the “early days” stage. So some additional discussion of the quotes presented recently will be offered: 

 1. One of the earliest pointers which Maharaj’s guru offered to him was one Maharaj would repeat time and again. He was told, "You are not what you take yourself to be . . . . " 

After years of recommending to seekers that they engage in “SELF-Enquiry” and that they find “the True Self” and that they find the answer to the query “Who Am I?” Maharaj would eventually shift away from that message and share instead this: 

Maharaj’s guru was more of a traditionalist who set Maharaj on a course of “Self-Enquiry” with talk about a “True Self” and about finding one’s “Real Identity.” 

Maharaj would abandon that course which his guru set him on, but not until having reached a point where he regretted influencing so many seekers to follow that route as well. 

He would eventually say, 

 2. “You do not need to find ‘Who You Are'; it is enough to know who you are not.” 

And “who you are not” includes all identifications, be they “A Spouse,” “An Employee,” “A Knower,” “A Teacher,” “A Hindu, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, etc.,” “The Super Religious One,” “A Spiritual Giant,” “A Godly One,” etc. or “An Infinite Self,” “A Supreme Self,” “An Eternal Self,” “Your True Self,” or an “Ultimate Self.” 

Maharaj reached a point eventually where he advised: 

3. “Reach a state of zero concepts” 

which necessarily requires that seekers also “reach a state of zero beliefs and, therefore, zero identities or Identities.” 

The justification for focusing on the elimination of personality identification is this: each assumed ego-state / personal / identity has two basic, usually-hidden, usually-subconscious agendas: 

A basic desire and a basic fear. Having desires, which are seldom met, leads to depression. Having fears leads to anxiety, worry, unease, apprehension, and angst. 

Too, the assumption of an ego-state as an identity triggers the use of ego-defense mechanisms, including egotism (and egotism and pride and arrogance are the observably the bane of the human existence). 

Moreover, assuming such Identities as “The Super Religious One,” “A Spiritual Giant,” “A Godly One,” “A Supreme Self” or “The Ultimate Self” also brings hidden agendas and a plethora of beliefs and often lead to the highest levels of egotism and pride and arrogance as well as the dissociation which comes with living in Foo Foo Land. 

Personality identifications and Identifications both lead to (personality) disorders, and those can lead to neuroses and psychoses. Dissociated persons and those attached to avoidance and escapism techniques will build castles in the air; once serious disorders and neuroses and psychoses manifest, persons move into those castles in the air; then, the rent will be collected by psychologists, psychiatrists, treatment centers, facilities specializing in working with the mentally ill, and / or the owners of funeral homes. 

As uncomfortable as it have been throughout the relative existence to deal with those dissociated from things phenomenal, the maximum levels of discomfort have often been reported by those dealing with persons who believe that they are “special” or “Special” or “godly” or “super religious” or “Spiritual Giants.” 

Therefore, in the end, whether discussing “phenomenal identities” or “Noumenal Identities,” the only sane and sound approach when dealing with either identifications or Identifications is to . . . 

“reach a state of zero concepts” 

and to 

“reach a state of zero beliefs” 

and to

reach a state of zero self-ness 

and to

reach a state of Zero Self-ness 

and to

reach the states of no-personhood and No-Personhood 

and to

reach a state of absolute and unmitigated Identitylessness.

Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "God," the "Son of God," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns. 

THE EXPLANATION 

If looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they are worthy of some attention during the relative existence. 

Meaning? There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept of God in the past was of a weak God, an absentee God, A Santa Claus-type God, a mean, punishing, vindictive God, etc. Today, I am in close contact with a loving and caring God whom I worship and praise and glorify and give thanks to." 

The reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a God that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly"). 

Next, in the phrase 'loving and caring God,' any supposed God that truly had her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part of that phrase is 'God' and that the only part that is relevant is the "loving and caring" part. 

"That is, a non-narcissistic god / goddess would say, "I care not an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'God' and focus on the 'God as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you." 

Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on: 

"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within" 

--Yeshu'a (Jesus) 

and 

"Heaven and earth shall fade away." 

--Yeshu'a (Jesus) 

and 

"Heaven and hell are not geographic places 

but are states of mind, nothing more than 

concepts dreamed up by men." 

--Pope John Paul II 

"There is no hell." 

--Pope Francis, the current pope 

in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari, 

a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record 

teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium. 

[That said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional courage required to question the very existence of their institution in light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of billions of their members past and present. 

And that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will they? Not likely. Why? 

Because what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the international crime families which hold sway over the masses as criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major international crime families and which are the most influential and have the largest memberships? 

The Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion followers) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank); Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.) 

With all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the driving forces at play. 

The masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]

ADDITIONAL QUOTES 

from 

SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ 

(continued) 

RETURNING TO YOUR TRUE STATE / ORIGINAL STATE / NATURAL STATE 

[Explaining why persons seem to grasp the understanding and then seemingly “lose” it]: “You are so used to the support of concepts that when your concepts leave you, although it is your true state, you get frightened and try to cling to them again.” 

“ . . . You should go back, reverse, to the source.” 

“Follow the same path by which you came.” 

ON BELIEFS 

"Whatever spiritual things you aspire to know are all happening in this objective world, in the illusion. All this is happening in the objective world. All is dishonesty. There is no truth in this fraud."

"After the information given to you by the mother, that you are a boy or girl, all your further acquisitions are by hearsay." 

“When the birth is disproved, the great noble meaning of spirituality and the meaning of this world—everything—is disproved.” 

"If you are not, can others be there?" 

"Only that person will visit this place whose virtue and sin have come to an end." 

"Both the mantra and the faith in the mantra will get dissolved." 

“Whatever you have tried to understand during your spiritual search will prove false.” 

“I have no faith in anything which has ever been told, not even what has been told by the Vedas. Only my own experience.” 

ON “BENEFITS” AND “GROWTH” AND “DEVELOPMENT” AND “ADVANCEMENT” AND “IMPROVEMENT” 

"There is no question of elevating to a higher level. Here it is only a question of understanding." 

"There is no progress." 

"First of all you identify something as being good or bad for yourself. Then, in an effort to acquire good or to get rid of the bad, you have invented a God. Then you worship such a God and . . . you pray to that God for something good to happen to you." 

"Both experience and experiencer will disappear." 

“You have some experiences and you try to benefit from them, but remember that whatever is going to be of use to you ultimately is going to harm you. Wherever there is use, there is also dis-use in this world of duality. Whatever you like is going to create harm for you. Whatever you like most is, in the end, going to be most harmful for you.” 

"Go to zero concepts." 

“I am stabilized. There is no going into samadhi, or coming down from samadhi. That is over.” 

“People who depend on the intellect only always will be swinging like a pendulum.” 

“At the time of the emotions, you were one with the emotions—you were not witnessing.” 

"There are two witnessing stages." 

ON UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY AND EVERY IDENTIFICATION IS FALSE 

(including the "really great ones")

“That mind-language will talk only about the impressions it has collected. The knowledge ‘I Am’ is not a thought but observes the thoughts.” 

[Emphasizing that you are not the body]: “When you travel in a car, are you the car?” 

“ . . . You are the light.” 

[I.e., the closest that one can come to clarifying what “THAT” is is to understand that “THAT” is – generally speaking - “the eternal, never created, always-in-existence compilation of energy / matter / elements, etc.” (none of which is either “special” or “Special” in any way). 

Next, the truth can be known but cannot be stated, so to state “I AM THAT” is really not stating a truth but is merely using a term in the short run and only temporarily to point during a discussion towards what was, is, and shall be, specifically, the energy / matter which was not created and which has therefore always been, an understanding which ends any and all belief in a “creator” or “Creator.” 

No parent has ever created a baby; parents engage in an act of friction which sometimes sets in motion a chain of events which only involves the recycling of elements that already were, are and shall be as opposed to making any “new elements.” 

Maharaj: “If they come face-to-face with that root, they will be stunned into silence.” 

Moreover, to follow “I am . . .” with any noun or adjective and to leave it at that is to state an outright falsehood. 

Thus, though people will tell you that “Floyd has a daughter,” there is no belief here in the identity of “The Father,” much less “The Super Father.” 

If one wants to argue that this composite unity called “Floyd” played a part in triggering a series of events which involved the recycling of things which already existed and which led to another composite unity having manifested, okay; however, if the notion of “father” is that "it was I who helped create another person,” that’s hogwash. 

Even more ludicrous is assigning the label to refer to “a priest” who is supposedly functioning as a higher-level “parent or guardian or guide or man of God on earth,” a practice which compels all those dealing with him to assume the identity of “The Child.” 

And the most ludicrous of all is the use of the label to refer to a “Creator” / “Super Father Figure” who has supposedly “made everyone and everything” and who really wants everyone to treat him like a father in charge of his brood – meaning all humankind and everything else to boot.] 

Maharaj: “From birth what has made the body grow? It is no power in the world. It is the power of beingness: the atom, the consciousness . . . call it what you will.”

ADDITIONAL QUOTES 

from 

SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ 

(continued) 

PRIOR TO THE MANIFESTATION, 

THE CONSCIOUSNESS, 

and

THE ILLUSORY “WORLD” 

“From the Absolute no-knowing state, spontaneously, this consciousness ‘I am’ has appeared—there is no reason, no cause.” 

"Out of my existence as the Noumenon has come this state of the phenomenal. The homogenous understands the play of the attributes, the projection of the mind, but the play, the projection of the mind, cannot understand the homogeneous." 

"Prior to taking this form, you were formless; spontaneously the form came, and when the form came there was a natural longing to return to the formless state. When you want to return to the formless, desireless state, then only you come here, to seek what you are. The consciousness has to know the consciousness. When it realizes itself, then only do you return to normal." 

"The world is nothing but the picture of your own 'I' consciousness” 

and 

“The nearer you get to the truth, the more you lose interest in worldly affairs. Such a one will not have any interest in the world, but will act like an ordinary person” 

and 

“Consciousness is present everywhere, but knowledge of that consciousness is dependent on the form” 

and 

“When you are thoroughly knowledgeable, you will come to the conclusion that this beingness is also an illusion.” 

“From my angle, you are nothing. You have no identity.” 

“In order to manifest itself, the consciousness needs a frame, a particular construct in which it can appear.” 

and 

“The consciousness has to know the consciousness. When it realizes itself, then only do you return to normal." 

"Understand that it is not the individual which has consciousness; it is the consciousness which assumes innumerable forms." 

  

 THE NATURAL, ORIGINAL, TRUE, REAL STATE 

"My true state, which is whole, undifferentiated, is beyond birth and death. I am never bound by my body and mind. I am limitless." 

“You are already in your true state. Because of the mind, duality comes in and therefore you are afraid.” 

“I take my stand in the original state where I was not aware that I am.” 

“Before this knowledge ‘I Am’ appeared on you, you were absolutely unattached. As soon as the knowledge dawned on you, you became attached to everything around you. Only that false ‘I’ is attached. Everything is just happening, and the false ‘I’ is taking the credit for doing things.” 

“Every organic being, whether an insect or a human, depends on food. All these flowers, this foliage, is our antecedent state.”
