The Zen of Advaita - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

This no “I” state represents the“other side” of the “I” and isstill a state. As such, the no “I”state will eventually reveal the“I” state. Simply stated if younest in the no “I” state, (whichcould be called the No “I” “I”,as there is an “I” which knowsthere is no “I”), the “forward”-wave-current will re-coagulatethe no “I” “I” state you thoughtyou were, and reconstitute the“I”. This is a very familiar“occurrence” for Neo-Advaita fanswho nest in the no “I” “I” state,only to find “themselves” thrownback into “I” land.Enquiry Koan: “What is thebackground of nature without an“I”?”Enquiry Koan: “Who is the knowerof nature with no “I”?”Wave-Station Nine:Identification with theconsciousness or, there is onlyone substance.A monk asked, “What is myself?”The Master said, “The oak tree inthe front garden.”145
