Witness - Awareness - Pure Being -- Nisargadatta

[Guest guest]

The person merges into the witness,

the witness into awareness,

awareness into pure being,

yet identity is not lost,

only its limitations are lost.

 

It is transfigured and becomes the real Self,

the sadguru, the eternal friend and guide.

 

You cannot approach it in worship.

No external activity can reach the inner self;

worship and prayers remain on the surface only;

 

to do deeper meditation is essential,

 

the striving to go beyond

the states of sleep, dream and waking.

 

In the beginning the attempts are irregular,

then they recur more often,

become regular,

then continuous and intense,

until all obstacles are conquered. (447)
