The
Nisargadatta Gita
Pradeep
Apte
80.
You are neither the ‘I am’ nor the activities carried out by the
beingness -
you
as the Absolute are none of these.
This mirage ‘I am’ has to be understood along with all the tangle of
activities that it gets
itself
caught up in.
This
illusory ‘I am’ or ‘beingness’ is the very root of everything, every
activity you engage in,
every action that you perform has the ‘I am’ as its basis.
Can you recollect any activity prior to the appearance of ‘I am’?
No.
So what does this suggest?
It
clearly shows that you stand apart from the ‘I am’ as the Absolute.
The ‘I am’ has only appeared on you and you have nothing to do with it
or its activities.
