The Nisargadatta Gita by Pradeep Apte - Part 32

read by James Traverse



The Nisargadatta Gita
Pradeep Apte
 
 
 
 32. Understand that the knowledge ‘I am’
 has dawned on you and all are its manifestations,
 in this understanding you realize you are not the ‘I am’.

Has this knowledge ‘I am’ come willingly to you?

Was it volitional?

In retrospect it doesn’t appear to be so.

 There was that moment and you knew that ‘you are’ and thenceforth
 the feeling ‘I am’ went on getting strengthened.

‘I am so and so’ got embedded into you and the rest of the activities
of your life followed.

  From this, is it not conclusive that the ‘I am’ has created your world
 and not the other way around?

 This ‘I am’ has dawned on you and you stand apart from it just as a witness
 with no participation in any of its activities whatsoever.
