Nisargadatta Maharaj

What is it in you that understands this knowledge I am without a name, a title or a word?

Sink in that innermost center and witness the knowledge

I am.

And with full conviction and faith, firmly believe in the dictum, I am that by which I know I am.

Catch hold of the knowledge I am in meditation and the realization will occur that I, the absolute, am not the quality I am.

Do nothing but stay in the knowledge I am, the primary illusion.

In deep meditation, infused only with the knowledge I am, it will be intuitively revealed to you as to how this I am-ness came to be.

to do away with body-mind sense or identity.

Imbibe or dwell in the I AM.

Later, the I AM will merge into the ultimate nature.

Having acquired and understood the knowledge I am, stay there in seclusion and don't wander around here and there.

you will realize that it is not the eternal state.

The teaching is simple.

When the I am arises, everything appears.

When I am subsides, everything disappears.

Onto your absoluteness, which is without form or shape,

came this knowledge, I am, which is also without shape and form.

This knowledge I am has spontaneously appeared on your absolute state.

Therefore it is an illusion.

Therefore, whatever is seen through this illusion cannot be real.
