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 />
