The space within the pot

The space within the pot, is known by its shape & volume and appears to have a separate identity. When the pot breaks, the space within, merges with the space outside, losing its identity.  - The space within, was never spearate from the space outside. - The identity was apparent, and the it was a superimposed concept, existing only in the minds of the perceived. - Once the pot breaks, the so-called identity is lost for ever, never to return. - The separate space within, such an entity was never born, cannot be reborn, and never existed even. - Even if a similar pot is reconstructed with all the features, the space within can never claim to have the identity of the old pot. - This is the case of our identity too. - The entity, the so-called “you” cannot be born, and never be reborn. - All fanciful concepts of spirituality, progress, rebirth and karma for such an entity have sprouted from ignorance and propagated by religion.

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".
