You cannot taint consciousness -RAdams

HOW CAN YOU THINK CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT YOU EVERY MOMENT ?

“It’s … funny to me that so many of us are looking for enlightenment, looking for realization, looking for liberation, looking for peace, when we’re already immersed in that. Consciousness is our very nature. We are that. And the interesting thing is, you cannot put down consciousness in any way. There’s nothing you can do to it.

You cannot taint it. You cannot dishevel it. You cannot burn it. You cannot kill it. It is all-pervading. If it is all-pervading, and you are that, how can you think there’s something that’s keeping you back from realization? How can you believe there’s something somewhere else that’s got hold of you, that’s keeping you back from seeing yourself, knowing yourself and being yourself?”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
