Rays of the Absolute - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

All that appears to exist,
All that gives the illusion of being is made of
consciousness sometimes disguised as something other
then consciousness-emptiness-void-awareness.
Consciousness-emptiness appears like a mist floating
on the Absolute.
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 382):
“To go beyond them you must be beyond
consciousness which is possible only when
you look at consciousness as something that
happens to you and not in you, as something
external, alien, superimposed.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 425):
“Just trust me and live by trusting me. I
shall not mislead you. You are the Supreme
Reality beyond the world and its creator.
Beyond consciousness and its witness.
Beyond all assertions and denials.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 36):
“In the true state nothing is.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 124):
“The absolute state is prior to consciousness;
it means the unborn state. If the
Parabrahman is the unborn state, prior to
consciousness can it have an
iota of knowledge?”
