N.MAHARAJ: Visitor: What is the exact difference between the Jiva, Brahma, and the Absolute?
Maharaj:” You remove all the names and understand. These are all concepts, a chaotic confusion of words, nothing else. Whatever I tell you, this knowledge is never-ending, it has no beginning and no end. All this is the product of the five elements, and the elements, including space, are substances. Space is like darkness, nothingness, like night. Out of it, vital breath arose as a vibration.
This body has appeared on me automatically, without my willing it, and therefore I became puzzled. What I have experienced is- I am not the matter. That quality of Beingness, knowingness, which is a product of matter, gets extinguished and again goes into the atmosphere with increasing progression and the cycle continues. That Beingness has gone into that state of matter, but it will not stay in that matter, it will take care that it goes back to its state of Absolute subtlety.”
