Nisargadatta Maharaj,<br />
“By inquiry, deconstruction through a<br />
process <strong>of</strong> negation, neti neti, (not this not<br />
this), all conditioning that gives <strong>the</strong> illusion<br />
or appearances <strong>of</strong> difference or separation<br />
from <strong>the</strong> substratum that is consciousness.”<br />
Deconstruction through total identification with<br />
consciousness is true renunciation.<br />
Through total identification with consciousness, neti<br />
neti occurs spontaneously, and effortlessly.<br />
Anything which appears separate from consciousness is<br />
an illusion,<br />
anything that appears separate from consciousnessemptiness<br />
is an illusion<br />
The perceiver is consciousness, and is an illusion.<br />
You are an illusion,<br />
I am an illusion.<br />
All words and all examples that are given are only<br />
metaphors and as pointers are <strong>the</strong>refore not true. There<br />
is only consciousness.<br />
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 176):<br />
“To go beyond we must pass through<br />
total negation <strong>of</strong> everything as having<br />
independent existence.”<br />
Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 526):<br />
“Resolutely reject what you are not until<br />
<strong>the</strong> real self (The <strong>Absolute</strong>) emerges in its<br />
glorious nothingness. It’s not-a-thingness.”<br />
