NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ:
- You are not whatever you Experience
Maharaj: Whatever you understand you cannot be that.
You are putting a question like this: a donkey is going by the road and you inquire about him, how are you concerned with that?
You know that you are not the donkey.
Whatever you experience is not you.
In this matter, you will not satisfy your itch by talking; elsewhere you may talk and be satisfied.
What is meditation?
Meditation is to reject all experiences, to be in a experienceless state.
To realize this trick you have to be in meditation.
What is the experience?
The experience ‘to be’, suppress that also. The one who observes both, the no-being and being state is in the true state.
You only get experiences of what you are not, beingness is also an experience merge it with no-beingness.
Beingness goes into no-beingness,
The Absolute does not know that it is, it only prevails.
To turn beingness into no-beingness, assiduously follow meditation or else you will be like a calf frisking. Be in meditation and you will stabilize, and then stop there or else you will be like a calf whose ear has air in it.
Visitor: To meditate is to realize that we do not experience.
Translator: The primary experience ‘you are’, that too should also be negated.
M: Experience has to become invisible together with the‘I love’ beingness.
V: What about noise in meditation?
M: Your senses and limbs are still active; they are not under your control.
By meditation this weakness of your mind should be overthrown.
How intensely should one meditate?
While Kabir meditated, a dog bit him,
someone came and told him ‘a dog has bitten you’
Kabir replied ‘the dog knows and the skin knows’.
A deep yearning must be there, like when you are worried about something, you will be thinking about it: ‘next morning
something must be done for money’ because of it there was no sleep, you’d
go straight for the money, you need it desperately and so you keep thinking
about it.
In the spiritual field you need to progress so intensely that you keep thinking it (your true identity), with persistence, you reach, but you must want it badly.
