The Nisargadatta Gita by Pradeep Apte - Part 74

read by James Traverse


The Nisargadatta Gita
Pradeep Apte 
 
 
74. You are even before you could say the words ‘I am’.
Witnessing happens to the state prior to your saying the words ‘I am’.

 The source, substratum or background has to be there before anything can appear on it.

You say ‘I am’, but ‘you’ are before that, only because of this can you say ‘I am’.

Witnessing happens to that formless state which is prior to your being through
 the ‘I am’ which has appeared on it.

That unborn state is ever present, it is neither the ‘I am’ nor does it require the ‘I am’,
it is beyond needs or any sort of dependence.
