the Absoulute

"Understand then, that it is this conscious presence that you are, so long as the body is there. Once your body is gone, along with the vital breath, consciousness will also leave. Only that which was prior to the appearance of this body-cum-consciousness, the Absolute, the ever-present is your true identity. That is what we all really are. That is reality. It is here and now. Where is the question of anyone reaching for it?"
~Sri Nasargadatta Maharaj

Until there is the conviction in the seeker that all phenomena, including himself, are merely appearances without any substance, there can be no true understanding. You are the primordial state of total freedom, that fullness of pure joy, that concentration of light which is subtler than the subtlest and the witness of everything
