Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

often spoke non sense. I think they would smile to
hear me say that.
If they were alive, I would tell people, “Go to
Nisargadatta and Robert. Just sit in their presence and
listen. Do not judge or form concepts. Just listen and
try to feel them with your beingness, with your heart.”
I do not bash them, I bash their concepts. I do not
bash their methods; I embrace them and expand on
the process of meditation on the ‘I Am’, and even use
the concepts of the four bodies as a heuristic tool.
But what I see in almost all of my students is them
being stuck in their everyday, personal life, trying
desperately to get unstuck by following gurus, doing
practices, and mostly reading books, which just crowd
their minds with additional concepts which even more
hide the truth of emptiness.
So my message is: Do not get even more stuck by
becoming captured by a tradition or set of concepts
that are not relevant to that which you know for
certain. What is it that you know without doubt? Is
there anything you know without doubt?” This will
take them immediately to the conclusion, ‘I know
nothing for certain.’ What does this get you: Fear,
insecurity, a sense of loss? What does this give you?
