Nisargadatta Maharaj: The one who is not touched by the universe, that He is. The entire universe is not even able to touch Him, that He is. Say yes, or say no.
If you don’t recognise or understand, means – you will say “He is not there”? Even if you don’t recognise, you don’t understand… The news of the existence of Parabrahman has come to form by the name Maya. Imagination means the experience “I am”. Experience is not going to last, means – imagination will not last.
As the news of His existence – waking, sleeping, and consciousness, the three states are created. And they are doing the business. He is not in it!
…
Then now I ask you only – until you had the experience of waking and sleeping, tell how were you then?
…
It is a season. This experience is a season. When a season ends, you say – life is over. That’s why it can’t be trusted.
…
Remember it again. Even the entire universe is not been able to touch Maharaj, it’s that Maharaj. Use whatever word for your understanding, by words only understanding is given.
