Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 >>Group, >>I am a big fan of Nisargadatta but there is one aspect of his teaching I haven't understood completely. According to him realizing the self is to be in a state where you have no memmory of anything or feel anything at all. According to him it is only the mind- body which is capable of experiencing anything. He often compared the state of self realization to being like Bombay or New York for that matter. The terror strikes in N.Y struck terror in the hearts of New Yorkers but not New York. Whatever happens in N.Y does not affect New York per se only the people who live there. So what's the point I am trying to make? The point I am trying to make is that N.Y minus its people is as dead as a dodo. So what's the point in striving for a state in which one is as good as dead. Will some one enlighten me. >>alec Remain as you are... Let the 'bodymind' do what it finds appropriate! .... Even when try " to be " something else, still in reality, you only remain... as you are! By 'pretending', by 'dreaming' to be something else [the bodymind], you merely create unnecessary suffering and delusion! The 'bodymind' can still do what it finds appropriate without " you " having to identify that... it is *you* that feels hurt, heartbroken, dismayed, or pathetic! Without identifying that is *you*... who feels like 'needing' to do something! The 'bodymind' can still do what it finds appropriate without... " you " feeling like the 'doer'!
