Nisargadatta Maharaj,<br />
“My words if planted in you will destroy all<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r words and concepts.”<br />
A thorn to remove a thorn.<br />
Consciousness is <strong>the</strong> substratum, or substance that all<br />
that appears to exist or be is made <strong>of</strong>.<br />
Everything that appears to exist is made <strong>of</strong><br />
consciousness,<br />
any “perceptions” that demonstrate apparent<br />
differences from this underlying whole are illusions.<br />
Consciousness, is <strong>the</strong> substratum <strong>of</strong> all perceivables<br />
and conceivables,<br />
as such metaphorically consciousness has many names<br />
and is called The Self <strong>of</strong> All, One Sole Being, or <strong>the</strong><br />
SELF.<br />
Siddharameshwar calls Consciousness <strong>the</strong> Supra-casual<br />
body.<br />
Consciousness is <strong>the</strong> basic substance <strong>of</strong> all that<br />
appears to exist,<br />
prior to words and concepts,<br />
prior to <strong>the</strong> I Am or beingness,<br />
impossible to grasp through <strong>the</strong> vehicle <strong>of</strong> language.<br />
There is only consciousness,<br />
Anything that appears separate from consciousness is<br />
an illusion,<br />
Everything that appears to exist is made <strong>of</strong><br />
consciousness,<br />
a bubble, a ripple on <strong>the</strong> ocean <strong>of</strong> consciousness.<br />
