The world picture and shakti is only consciousness.<br />

All is an illusory appearance made <strong>of</strong> consciousness, a<br />

ripple on <strong>the</strong> ocean <strong>of</strong> consciousness.<br />

There is no such thing as <strong>the</strong> past, <strong>the</strong> present, and <strong>the</strong><br />

future.<br />

There is no present time, presence or Now,<br />

They are illusions, superimpositions projected onto<br />

consciousness.<br />

There is only consciousness.<br />

Nisargadatta Maharaj:<br />

“The experience <strong>of</strong> presence is part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> I<br />

Am, and should not be <strong>the</strong>re.”<br />

Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 44):<br />

“Jnaneshwar, a great sage, said I don’t tell a<br />

lie. Whatever exists has no substance. It is<br />

unreal. The present moment is unreal.”<br />

Buddha: “There is no fundamental reality.”<br />

Time is an illusion.<br />

Nisargadatta Maharaj (pg. 36):<br />

“It is very simple: This is time-bound, and<br />

anything that is time-bound is untrue.”<br />

All is an appearance made <strong>of</strong> consciousness, a ripple<br />

on <strong>the</strong> ocean <strong>of</strong> consciousness.<br />

Whatever is perceivable or conceivable is only<br />

consciousness.<br />
