Pradeep Apte - The Nisargadatta Gita

teaching you go back and come to the knowledge ‘I
am’ and dwell there for a sufficient amount of time.
It is during this period of abidance in the ‘I am’
that a moment comes when you see very clearly
that it is the ‘I am’ that is born. When you see this,
you stand apart from it as the unborn, something
which occurs almost immediately.
123. Once the ‘I am’ goes, what remains
is the Original which is unconditioned,
without attributes or identity. This is
called ‘Parabrahma’, or the Absolute.
The departure of the ‘I am’, marks the end of all
concepts, or ‘the illusion’. You are no longer a
conditioned individual but stand as the Original -
and the Original has no attributes or identity. How
could the formless, nameless infinite have any
attributes or identity? It is the very basis. All that
we see with attributes or identity have only
appeared on it, which again are based on the
fundamental primordial concept or illusion ‘I am’.
Since the only means of communication we have is
words or language, this infinite has been called the
‘Parabrahman’ or the Absolute.
