The <strong>Absolute</strong> is “prior” to <strong>the</strong> Witness and <strong>the</strong> Supreme<br />
Witness ,<br />
“prior” to <strong>the</strong> emptiness-void,<br />
“prior” to awareness-Supreme Witness itself, which is<br />
<strong>the</strong> last station <strong>of</strong> dissolution <strong>of</strong> illusionary appearances<br />
on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong>,<br />
Nisargadatta Maharaj called <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Parabrahman.<br />
To that Sadguru, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Absolute</strong> who is <strong>the</strong> ocean on<br />
which <strong>the</strong> emptiness-awareness- consciousness and <strong>the</strong><br />
perceivable universe appears to appear,<br />
“prior” to <strong>the</strong> Self <strong>of</strong> All,<br />
“prior” to awareness,<br />
“prior” to consciousness on which even <strong>the</strong> awareness<br />
and Supreme Witness and consciousness appear to<br />
appear and float.<br />
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 316):<br />
“That which makes you think that you<br />
are human is not human. It is but a<br />
dimensionless point <strong>of</strong> consciousness.<br />
A conscious nothing.”<br />
The Nameless <strong>Absolute</strong> is prior to consciousness.<br />
The <strong>Absolute</strong> has no consciousness or nonconsciousness.<br />
The <strong>Absolute</strong> has no emptiness or awareness.<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> void <strong>of</strong> void prior to <strong>the</strong> void concept or<br />
perceivable experience <strong>of</strong> awareness.<br />
