consciousness , it is the consciousness which
assumes innumerable forms. That something
which is born or which will die is purely imaginary.
It is the child of a barren woman.
In the absence of this basic concept "I am"
there is no thought , there is no consciousnes.
Nisargadatta ,
PRIOR TO CONSCIOUSNESS
Maharshi:
Self can be without the ego , but the ego cannot
be without the Self . Egos are like bubbles in
the ocean. Impurities and worldly attachments
affect only the ego; the Self remains pure and
unaffected . When the individual goes , the desires
also go.
from CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY
