Karma a religious dogma.

- Slap someone & expect it back — common sense, wisdom, a consequence of interaction, reciprocity and evolution. - Slap someone & expect it to come round to you through some unknown universal law, from someone else, or in the next birth — KARMA.

No progress - No realization

 

- You - the object with which you had identified yourself is only a phenomenon totally devoid of any substance, independence or autonomy — merely a dreamed appearance in someone else's consciousness — and that, therefore, for such a mere shadow there can never be any question of either bondage or liberation. - Any action — positive or negative — based on the notion of an autonomous, independent entity implies a fundamental failure to grasp the essentials. So long as there is a pseudo-entity considering itself a seeker and working towards 'liberation', it will continue to remain in 'bondage'. - There cannot be any progress if you continue to regard yourself as an entity and expect the Guru, as another entity, to give you some homework to do, and when that is duly completed, to award you a sort of certificate, or something, on a platter as 'liberation'. - There can he no self-realized 'person' and, therefore, there is no question of how a self-realized person acts in the world. - So long as there is an entity seeking liberation, he will never find it. - How can a conceptual appearance know whether it is making any conceptual progress towards its conceptual liberation? - Apperception is not a matter of gradual practice. It can only happen by itself instantaneously — there are no stages in which deliberate progress is made. There is no 'one' to make any progress.

No such thing as realization

Nisargadatta: - Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your self-realisation. - Liberation is never of the person, it is always from the person. - There is no ‘me’ or ‘you’ to seek enlightenment, indeed there is no such thing as ‘enlightenment’. - Actually no one is realized, there is only pure knowledge. - There is no entity that needs enlightenment. There is no such thing as enlightenment! - And indeed, so long as there is an entity seeking liberation, he will never find it. - Of course, there can be no causal connection between practice and wisdom. - What is born is only a concept. There is no entity to be freed. THIS MEANS THAT: There is no realized person in opposite to an unrealized person. Just understand in all dimensions about your true nature - what you are. That's all you can do. There is no supernatural state beyond this understanding. That any such experience is your imagination; your problem. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT: Even though such experiences are there, please don't go that way. Unrealized person goes through some special door and become realized. Doing all types of acrobatics, stretches, and rituals to get realized. Imagining all types of fancy stories to be real and you get realized. Not enough to understand with mind, you have to understand with your soul.

Indeed there is no such thing as enlightenment

 

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Indeed there is no such thing as enlightenment. The apperception of this fact is itself enlightenment. THIS MEANS: That any euphoric experience or anything else claimed as enlightenment is just absurd. That such things are superstitions created by religions and cults. That effort and craving for such things are waste of time. That it does not exist in the same way as as an omlette with elephant's egg does not exist. That such experiences beyond a limit is psychosis - disconnection from reality. AND THIS DOES NOT MEAN: That even though such experiences are there, I advice not to follow that. That even though such things are there, you are not mature enough for that. That since you are not initiated, it is not for you.

If everything is an appearance

When mystical claims are questioned, the reply is often: If all experiences are unreal - this world, the brain, science, everything - how is my mystical experience more unreal? Yes. If everything is only appearance, then the conversation ends right there. You are an appearance. I am an appearance. The question you just asked is an appearance. There is nothing left to prove or disprove, and no one left to prove it to. But we are speaking on the relative level, where - we already accept a shared world, we need food to live, words have meaning, and not every private story is equal. On that level: -- If I say I keep a dragon in my backyard, you will not accept it. -- If I say you owe me $1000 from the other world yesterday, you will not accept it. -- And still if you say “everything is appearance, so why is my samadhi less real?”, then you and I are also appearances. So, to whom are you speaking? You cannot use “all is appearance” only to protect your funny private experience, then switch back to the relative level the moment you want to argue. Either everything is appearance and the discussion is over, or we stay on the relative plane where evidence, consistency, and shared checks still matter. You cannot have both.

OOBE (Out-of-Body Experience) is hallucination. It is treatable.

- Does not mean that your “consciousness” left your body. - It just means that your brain can produce a remarkably convincing illusion of being somewhere else. - You mistake your visual experience for your point of presence. - It is like - I dreamt I was flying, therefore my body can fly. - There is no detachable soul, no wandering consciousness, no supernatural astral body. - It is a neurological or psychiatric disorder. It can be treated. - Can easily be disproved by asking what is written on top of the cupboard.

The Paradox of Subjectivity

Brain creates consciousness. Consciousness needs brain to manifest. But you need consciousness to perceive the world including the brain.

About Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was an Indian spiritual teacher and philosopher of Advaita (Nondualism), and a Guru, belonging to the Navnath Sampradaya. Sri Nisargadatta, with his direct and minimalistic explanation of non-dualism, is considered the most famous teacher of Advaita since Ramana Maharshi. In 1973, the publication of his most famous and widely-translated book, "I AM THAT", an English translation of his talks in Marathi by Maurice Frydman, brought him worldwide recognition and followers.

According to Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the purpose of spirituality is simply to know who you are. His discussions are not for academic scholars. He is a rebellious spirit, abrupt in his style of discussion, provocative, and immensely profound, cutting to the core and wasting little effort on inessentials. He talked about the 'direct way' of knowing the Final Reality, in which one becomes aware of one's original nature through mental discrimination, breaking the mind's false identification with the ego, knowing that "You are already That".
