Nirupana - 92 You are prior to thoughts. How can thoughts arise if you are not there prior to them? The wakefulness that comes in the morning stays there until one goes to sleep again. You are prior to the wakefulness. One day it will sleep permanently. What you are listenting to is the highest type of meditation.
Our teaching is unique, quite different from others in the world. It is of no use to the one who considers his body as his own Self. What is the meaning of life? It has none. It is there without any reason. Just see, witness. It is like urinating. Even if life is understood as the knowledge of the Self, that earned knowledge is also untrue. There will not be a vestige of it left. As soon as prana leaves the body, there will not be any difference whether one lived or not. Brahman is forever. The knowledge "I Am" comes to Brahman only. The individual has no knowledge. It is the source of misery. This "I Am" itself is the knowledge. Proper cognizance of this is the essence of spiritual truth. No one thinks about himself. He is searching for God who is One without a second and is limitless. However, the seed of the universe is contained in a microscopic seed of the knowingness of Beingness. No one thinks of that. Is it any different from God? The name "Chidakash" - the limitless space of Consciousnes, belongs to the living active "Knowingness." The knowledge of the world is not outside of this Consciousness. - Nisaragadatta Maharaj Sunday 2/11/1979
