Individual soul is a religious superstition

 

Planarian worms cut into pieces, grow into separate organisms. If each organism has a soul, where from did these extra souls come?

Individual soul, jiva, atman is a religious superstition. That it can carry karma is a myth. That it will take rebirth is a myth. That it will go to heaven and hell is a myth. Individual soul is an imagination out of misidentification with the body. The very purpose of realization is to remove this false idea. Then, how can believing in fairy tales built on the misidentification, enlighten you?

There is no such thing as matter in itself - Max Planck

 

There is no such thing as matter in itself. What we perceive as matter is merely the manifestation of a force that causes the sub-atomic particles to oscillate and holds them together in the tiniest solar system of the universe.

- Max Planck. German theoretical physicist, originator of quantum theory

Once you realize beyond all trace of doubt that the world is in you and not you in the world, you are out of it.

- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

There are no other means to liberation, all means delay.

 

When the fallacy of concepts and beliefs are exposed, the common argument raised is "Till I am ready, let me have such concepts", or "Till I am mature, such concepts are true for me". False is false whether you realise it or not. No dumb practice will make you free. Unless you come face to face with sensitive areas that disturbs you the most and clear it out, no change is going to happen.

The entire manifested universe exists only in consciousness

 

● The entire manifested universe exists only in consciousness. 
● As an appearance in consciousness, the world is the totality of the known in the potential of the unknown. 
● 'Me', 'you' and 'he' are only appearances in consciousness.

Absolute perfection is here and now

All you get by waiting is more waiting. Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far.

What if I die without getting realized?

When you talk about an ignorant person and a Jnani and the need for an ignorant person to become a Jnani, do you not assume that there is an independent and autonomous individual, capable of exercising personal volition according to his choice and decision?

In the process whereby the phenomenal universe comes into manifestation, is there a provision for such independent entities?

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

• Realization is from the illusion of a person.
• A "realized person" is a paradox.
• There is no one to realize.

People mistake bliss for self-realisation

 

Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your self-realisation.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj


People mistake bliss for self-realisation.
Bliss is connected to serotonin in the brain. It comes and goes.

A character in a movie, a dreamed pseudo-entity

Who is thinking in terms of self-improvement? Surely, an appearance in consciousness, a character in a movie, a dreamed pseudo-entity considering itself subject to the workings of Karma.
• Realizing one's true nature requires no phenomenal effort.
• What efforts can a shadow make to know its substance?
• Who is to do Sadhana and for what purpose?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Pointers from N.M.


• You are so attached to the show that you forget that you are not the character in the cinema, but its witness.
• “Reincarnation exists as long as I am not realized” is like saying “The characters in the cinema are true as long as I don’t realize that it is a cinema.”
• The cinema is an appearance whether you realize it or not. The entire world is an appearance to you, whether you realize it or not.
• Karma and reincarnation are just false religious concepts, whether you are realized or not realized.
• Can any amount of ‘sadhana’ done by the imaginary character in a cinema help to realize its true nature? How can a non-existent entity realize itself? How can a concept realize itself?
• Then what is the solution? – Stop conceptualizing and spontaneously and directly apperceive things as they are. All knowledge is conceptual, therefore, untrue.

Man of cluttered intellect - Ashtavakra Gita

 

A man of open intuition may realize Self upon hearing a casual instruction, while a man of cluttered intellect inquires bewildered for a lifetime.

यथातथोपदेशेन कृतार्थः सत्त्वबुद्धिमान् ।
आजीवमपि जिज्ञासुः परस्तत्र विमुह्यति ॥

The self-styled Gurus obstruct

The self-styled Gurus talk of ripeness and effort, of merits and achievements, of destiny and grace. All these are mere mental formations, projections of an addicted mind. Instead of helping, they obstruct.
- Nisargadatta Maharaj

All ideas of ripeness and effort, merits and achievements, progress and goal, destiny and grace, rebirth and karma, are ignorant religious concepts based on the false notion of a non-existent entity. Such an entity does not exist.
