Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your self-realization. You are not to expect an explosion, for the explosion has already happened - at the moment you were born, when you realized yourself as being-knowing-feeling. There is only one mistake you are making. You take the inner for the outer and the outer for the inner. What is in you, you take to be outside you and what is outside you take to be in you. The mind and feelings are external, but you take them to be internal. You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely a projection of your psyche. That is the basic confusion and no new explosion will set it right. You have to think yourself out of it. There is no other way. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
(I've yet to see Nisargadatta describing obliteration of the mind...)

Nisargadatta was clear that the I Am had to be dissolved and transcended to know your real nature which is prior to mind, so in that practice of residing in the I am that dissolution leads to destruction of mind (manonasa). sivanandaonline.org/public_html/?cmd=displaysection§ion_id=928In this quote Niz righty warns about being attached to experiences and having expectations of some wonderful explosion of experience but in reality Self realization is very ordinary, a total and irreversible relaxation into the natural state which is Peace. |
