- This talk demonstrates the flaw of most nonduality teachings on "no-self" and presents the true and direct understanding of Anatta. An insight that uncovers a clear distinction between the perspective of the ego and the absolute standpoint of the sages.
With acknowledgements to the wisdom of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. The text referred to in this video is chapter 23 of the book "I Am That". The full text can be found on several websites such as this one: archive.org/details/IAmThatBy...

Empty is the world
Thank you. This was a very important lesson, correcting something which confused and bothered me when I read those teachings. I used to try to imagine "There's experience but no experiencer" Then I had a dream that seemed very meaningful in which light was a metaphor for Consciousness. I saw The Sun (The One Consciousness or Source) shining its consciousness onto the Moon which represented The Greater Total Self of each of us reflecting The One Consciousness. The Moon, in turn, shined its light onto the people (egos) below who did not reflect the light/consciousness, as egos, but could only "borrow" the reflected consciousness of the Moon (Total Self which has access to The One Consciousness in this reflective way). Thank you for this lesson, which, for me, corroborated what I seemed to understand from the dream.
❤🙏❤️
"You gain nothing but leave behind all that is not yours"
It was only reading Nisargadatta that made me see all my beliefs and concepts .... how wound up I was in them, how real I took them to be. Slowly but surely they begin to fall away,
Thank you.
You don’t need self for experience
Tears of deep love listening to your clarifications. I read I Am That so many times over years time that I wore through the binders of 2 copies. When I started reading it, I had no idea what I was reading.
Would you consider an inquiry to see if you might do an audiobook of I Am That? It has not been done. Your voice is so direct and so soothing that it would likely open up access to beloved Nisargadatta’s wisdom to many more. And do so by paying for the privilege.
I am so grateful for your pointing.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I would love to record more of Nisargadatta's dialogues and share them here on RUclips. It's just a matter of finding time at the moment.
Thanks for listening. I am glad the teachings have made their way into your heart.
"Experience is all there is" and "My [Your] experience is all there is" don't seem to be the same statements.
This is addressed in the video through the question, "Which experience are you referring to?" Even if you consider all of experience in general, this current experience is strickingly "real" compared to all the other experiences taking place simultaneously. Experience always refers to local and subjective phenomena. They borrow their reality from the Absolute Reality, which is neither local nor subjective.
The realisation being pointed out here comes from detachment from the realm of experiences.
@@untangle-your-mind I'll just say that this may be the first of your videos I've seen that seems to tangle more than it untangles. 😁
Haha! We may have come upon a particularly tricky knot there then.
The conclusion that "experience is all there is" does not pacify the mind and resolve all clinging and craving. Technically it can be called nonduality, since it does away with the duality of subject and object. But it does so by ignoring the transient and local nature of experience, discarding the scientific model of the universe, and overlooking how this conclusion isn't producing scores of Jnanis and Arhats.
@@untangle-your-mind Perhaps it is that the explanation requires too much language for me. I'm not catching the intuitive meaning and as such it begins feeling more like dogma than openness. I'll continue to meditate on it and perhaps a different understanding will come. 🙏🏼
Sure, dogma has no place in the search for truth.
