God is not as important than my sense/awareness of no being to beingness. 💥💥🔥🔥 wanting to know where this “sense” appeared from in the first place truly hit home for me. Truly any kind of knowingness is ignorance. If perception could perceive itself how can it be the perceiver of its perception? That’s when I realized that everything is nothin and nothing is everything. I let go and accept all that is happening on the screen of time and space. The knowingness that knows itself is not the Self. The Self is not a “knowingness” but a beingness without knowing it’s beingness. Just BEING. 🙏🏽 Absolute Supreme Really.
Burst out laughing at the response: "You have created the habit of believing whatever you're told!" 🤣 (The questioner was asserting his own birth, but Maharaj told him it was inferred through hearsay.)
you are not confined to your body; 5:48 since when are you and due to what?; 9:44 consciousness, the primary illusion; 21:35 you were absent on your first birthday; 28:24 consciousness, the formless god; 39:27 know your eternal state; 51:17 your consciousness is a cheat;
In short, without conscious awareness there is only death no matter how he seeks to dress it up, prior to consciousness, non beingness, the eternal self etc. is eternal death. A stone may be present for a million years but it has no consciousness, is not aware that it exists, it is dead.
Maharaj is pointing to what he calls ParaBrahman. ParaBrahman does not mean death or dead. Death and birth belong to a form with sentience. Reality ParaBrahman doesn’t change. If you want to be free of your suffering, then be Ernest and keep listening with an open mind.
@@jaya1946 Yes I understand that already it's just the terms used don't sound very inviting. Nisargadatta uses the terms prior to consciousness and 'non being.' Of course my dislike is because of body identification but really do you think that being part of the ocean with no discernment sounds appealing? I am not suffering, at my age (72) I have learnt detachment from that which happens in the space of me but I enjoy observing both the bad and the good. Not having discernment, being the whole, the one sounds very much like death to me ie. nothing.
@@jaya1946 There is something else that has caused my BS warning lights to go on. Ramana Maharshi is more or less in line with Nisargadatta, he speaks of consciousness being together with existence when existence ceases so does consciousness (none being) so now we have a dead body and mind and a non existent consciousness and yet he speaks of karma, what should have karma when there is nothing left, indeed if we are not the doer what deserves the karma? I don't doubt that both Nisargadatta and Ramana are earnest and honest men but both of them are what we call in the UK 'word merchants.' Truth cannot be known by the living. If Occam's razor was used then the simplest explanation is that the universe is real and we are biological beings with a limited time of sentience after which death is a reality.
@@amarynth100 Firstly I would like to say that I believe you, I have no problem with the message just the language (possibly mistranslated) that Nisargadatta uses and that he often seems to contradict himself. I am open to the reality of the absolute and that we live in a dual world of manifestations in a field of nonduality ie the basis of everything is consciousness. It is not given to us that we should understand everything and maya no doubt has its purpose, without ego our manifestation wouldn't have survived. I am retired and live in Thailand in a farming village near the Cambodian border. I get up at 4 am when the monks in the nearby temple start their chanting and walk several times around a nearby lake in the dark, avoiding stumbling over sleeping water buffaloes on the path until I have completed 5km. I practice meditation without a goal in mind, speak with animals, make breakfast for my Thai/British son and engage with my Thai step granddaughter. I haven't experienced anything like kundalini but that doesn't bother me, there seems to be a cosmic 'need to know' basis for this and there is rarely a need to know. I have read much of the sages both modern and ancient and of the experiences of people like Tony Parsons and Anna Lisa Adelberg et al. I appreciate that language isn't sufficient apparently to communicate these experiences but my "I" demands concise use of language if it is to be used at all. I speak three languages and I have found that translations are all imperfect, either the beauty is missed or the exact meaning becomes foggy. What shall one make of Jac o'Keefe's statement that a tree is only a concept of the mind, drive your car at 100 km/h at it and one will see how solid such a concept is. Or Nisargadatta :- "You are not the body nor are you in the body...there is no body" anybody with a broken leg would disagree. We live in a dual world, that is fact, your own personal mortality bares witness to this. It is immaterial to everyday life that consciousness underlies everything, we have to combat life's manifestations as they are, our essence may be that of the absolute but the tax office won't accept that I don't really exist as a person therefore I owe no tax.
Thank you for free sharing such profound metaphisical and existencial insights.
Great public service to education.
Well said

Beautifully said, thank you
Thank you for this audio ❤
This is really useful to most of us 🙏🏻
Namaste thankyou Thankyou Thankyou

Perhaps if someone had cut off his hands at that moment he would say the pain only exists as hearsay (but it sure would hurt)
@@daotheeternalnamelessbeyon8778 Yes!....That program was funny and realistic at the same time.
You also believe whatever youre told hahaha
you are not confined to your body; 5:48 since when are you and due to what?; 9:44 consciousness, the primary illusion; 21:35 you were absent on your first birthday; 28:24 consciousness, the formless god; 39:27 know your eternal state; 51:17 your consciousness is a cheat;
Whatever, we know nothing, everything is conjecture. Whatever 'is' doesn't rely on our belief or understanding especially if it 'isn't'.
Namaste thankyou
Love it
What I always knew, but dared not think about.
Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
