You ARE the Self here and now . Stop imagining yourself to be 'this' or 'that'. Let go your attachment to the unreal..

SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ

"The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: "Who am I?" After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The "I am" is certain. The "I am this" is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -- nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being".

NISARG YOGA

Union with that which is beyond impermanent phenomena, that in which all phenomena arises and dissolves.

To delve into the sense of 'I', so real and vital, in order to reach its source is the essence of the Nisarga Yoga of Sri Maharaj. Not being a continuous experience, the sense of 'I' must have a source from which it flows and to which it returns. This timeless source of conscious being is what Sri Maharaj calls the Self-nature, Self-being, swarupa.

POINTERS

Tat Tvam Asi..

The life force [prana] and the mind are operating [of their own accord], but the mind will tempt you to believe that it is "you". Therefore understand always that you are the timeless spaceless witness. And even if the mind tells you that you are the one who is acting, don't believe the mind. [...] The apparatus [mind, body] which is functioning has come upon your original essence, but you are not that apparatus.

Before we consider what is 'right' and what is 'wrong', please tell me who is asking this question.

This message “I am” is nothing other than the advertisement of the Eternal Truth.

You are not doing anything. All this is happening spontaneously in you. If you want to understand the deep underlying meaning of this, go to the very source, to your beingness, and hold on to that. But above all, do not collect concepts.

When you talk about “path,” you think the destination is far off and you have to walk there. The point is that you are right at the destination, so where is the necessity of any path?
