CHApTER 23<br />

All Knowledge<br />

Is Without Cause<br />

“All knowledge is without cause, without base and<br />

deceptive. From the point of view of absolute Reality,<br />

this knowledge does not belong to any person. When<br />

one is given wholly to this contemplation, then, O dear<br />

one, one realizes [THE SUBSTANCE]. . . . This is the<br />

device for entering the heart, i.e., the mystic center of<br />

reality.” (Vijnanabhairava , pp. 90-91)<br />

The heart is the <strong>Not</strong>hingness. It is consciousness that has<br />

the illusion and veil, which makes or imagines a cause<br />

and effect. It is the body that is perceived by a perceiver,<br />

which is an abstraction of the nervous system, which provides<br />

the cause-effect illusion. It is the nervous system and<br />

its perceiver that gives the illusion of cause and effect where<br />

there is none. There is only THAT ONE SUBSTANCE.<br />

“All THAT HAppEnS<br />

iS THE CAUSE Of All THAT HAppEnS.”<br />

nisargadatta Maharaj<br />
