The Nisargadatta Ultimatum Pointers
- compiled by Pradeep Apte - read by Prem Daas -
Your destiny is not death
But the disappearance of I am
Allow yourself to relax
and simply allow the words of Nisargadatta Maharaj
to enter into the deepest part of your being.
Simply allow these words, these pointers
to enter into your heart of hearts.
Are you a mere body or something else
or maybe nothing at all
Before all beginnings
after all endings
I am
What you are you already are
everything is local and temporary
except you
don't forget what you are
Ultimately I am beyond being
and non-being
Find him who was present at your birth
and will witness your death
Stop imagining that you were born,
have parents or a body that will die and so on
You were never born nor will you ever die
There is a state beyond forgetting
and remembering
The beginning-less begins forever
Find what is it that you have never lost
Overlook the moveable and you will find
yourself to be the ever-present
Whatever happens
I remain
I was never born
how can I grow old
I am neither born nor can I die
I have nothing to remember or to forget
You are beyond the experiencer
ever unborn and deathless
Reality is not an event
it cannot be experienced
for reality neither comes nor goes
There is no such thing as experience of reality
only reality is
there is nothing else
there was no coming
it was so always
You can only be what you are in reality
you can only appear to be
what you are not
What comes and goes has no being
What changes is not real
what is real does not change
Don't pretend to be what you are not
don't refuse to be what you are
Life will escape
the body will die
but it will not affect me in the least
The real does not die
the unreal never lived
You are neither the body nor in the body
there is no such thing as body
The absolute precedes time
the absolute is
Your body is short of time not you
just understand yourself
that itself is eternity
I know for myself
I was never born
Both the subject and the object
exist in you
but you are neither
You are complete here and now
you need absolutely nothing
That which makes you think you are human
is not human
The real is always with you
you need not wait to be what you are
You are not what you perceive
You are yourself without knowing
No happening affects your real being
this is the absolute truth
Transiency is the best proof of unreality
You cannot know your real being
you can only be what you are
Whatever you are changelessly
That you are beyond all doubt
To be
you must be nobody
To know that you do not know
is true knowledge
In reality you were never born
and shall never die
Be nothing
know nothing
have nothing
One can only be it without knowing
What you don't know
that is prior most
Before you acquired this knowledge I am
That is the real estate
Come to the conclusion that you
are not the consciousness
The absolute doesn't know itself at all
When the body dies
you do not die
When everything goes
you are the real
Your true identity is beyond this
quality of I am-ness
The state before you were born
and after you die
is your permanent property
Before the knowledge I am appeared on you
That is Parabrahman
If you revert properly
the consciousness I am will disappear
The Parabrahman
does not know that it is
You are the underlying principle
of consciousness
be in that
The eternal one
is that which you have
never forgotten
Go back to the source
take your stand in
the original state
Beingness is the child of no beingness
The absolute
Prior to witnessing
you are
Something prior to the creation of the body
knows that there is a body
When you did not have the body
complete satisfaction existed
The One who knows these appearances
is the Satguru Parabrahman
The I am-ness is a part of the play
you are prior to the I am-ness
You are not the sound from the
brahmarandra which says I am
The arrival of my beingness
without my knowing
constitutes my parents
How can that
which depends on the body
be the truth?
I prevail prior to anything
I ever exist
Prior to the appearance of childhood
that is my eternal State
I only observe the appearance and
disappearance of beingness
When you didn't know that you were
That is your true state
The one who observes
the being and no being state
is the true state
Only what was before the body
came into existence
will remain after the body dies
Lord Krishna was the unborn
the Nirguna principle
just as you are
You are unborn and
shall ever remain unborn
The world and the mind
everything are unreal
but I am not those
Prior to this identification with the body
you must recede into that
Witnessing of the beingness
happens to the eternal principle
the absolute
I the absolute
never had any experience
that I was alive
I the absolute
have no needs
I ever prevail
The non attention parabrahman state
has no attention I am
Before the beingness was there
look at that
be in that state
Timeless, spaceless existence
doesn’t know it is
that is reality
that is truth
As the eternal principle
you prevail in spite of all happenings
To the absolute witnessing of
the I am-ness occurs
this is the Siddha standpoint
I the absolute
am not this I am-ness
Not knowing is perfection
knowing is imperfection
fraudulent
When the I am goes into oblivion
that is the eternal state
no form, no beingness
There is no question of going into that state
you are in the supreme state
Without reason or cause
the consciousness spontaneously appears
on the absolute
As you get closer to the truth
you will lose interest in worldly affairs
My true nature
is that which was before the body
and consciousness came into being
It is quite simple
all that which is time-bound
is untrue
I am the perfect state
when the I am-ness was not
What was your state
before the I am arose
go back to the source
That which you don't know
is the right state
Throw away everything as useless
after this consciousness has come
In the absolute
there is no need of any kind
even the need to know oneself
Satguru parabrahman
is your true nature
In the absolute
the I am comes
they are not two
Donating the self you get brahma
donating brahma you get parabrahman
The teaching which destroys the individual
is exactly what the individual seeks
You just stumble on the knowledge
that the individual was never there
You are prior to the idea I am
camp yourself there
prior to the words I am
You must recede into the not knowingness
when you are awake
I was
I am and I shall be
in that original state
before the I am-ness came
I am fully established
in that unborn state
I am God
I am the devilty
and I am the worshiping
You must know yourself
devoid of the body sense
The one who expresses
I was not
is secure, stable and eternal
The one who recognizes the imperfect
is perfect and complete
With reference to your true parabrahman state
Maya does not exist
You know what you are not
what you are you cannot know
Prior to knowingness
is the prior most principal
which knows the consciousness
Death is inevitable
so why not accept it right now
that it cannot affect you
What you have heard from me
is to be understood, used and given up
Without the body sense,
I am perfect, total and complete
You are changeless and permanent
You have no beginning and no end
you are eternal
Parabrahman is your eternal state
you cannot remember it because
you have never forgotten it
Go back to your original state
before this consciousness
came upon you
The one which is listening
and you do not know is you
As the absolute
I have no experience of myself
On hearing these words
all your knowledge will evaporate suddenly
and you will be wonderstruck
I as the absolute
do not need this consciousness
Where is the question
when the instrument of questioning
is kept aside
On your not knowing state
suddenly the knowingness has appeared
and created all the mischief
I am before
anything can happen
Knowledge is ignorant
it has a beginning and an end
had it been real it would be eternal
Satguru means the eternal state
which will never change
what you are
The One directed bias at guru
has no more birth
is sadhana
is over
Why die as a body?
Have the highest ambition
so that at least while dying
you are the absolute
One is the absolute
no I am
two is consciousness
I am
Three is space
world
To know you are nothing
is a real liberation
When all your knowledge
including yourself is liquidated
then you are liberated
The unknown is the truth
I have no need of any experience
You are prior to consciousness
in that state there is no pleasure or pain
What am I when this temporary state
is gone and before it comes?
that itself is the search
The ultimate knowledge
does not have any knowledge
If you have really understood
no questions can arise
questions arise only to an entity
As long as you believe you are an entity
spiritual salvation and all this talk
is useless
As an entity you want to know the absolute
it's not possible because
you are the absolute
When you really intuitively understand what I am saying
it's the end of your spiritual search
Prior to consciousness
who is there and with
what instrument one can be conscious?
The state prior to consciousness is always there
right now it is there
Your true identity is a state of not-knowing
total, complete and perfect
This sense of presence
is unreal like a dream
Your true state was there
before the body and consciousness arose
is there now and will be
after the body and consciousness go
Give thought to the state
before experiencing began
Even when the consciousness goes you prevail
you always are as the absolute
It is the consciousness that gets liberated
there is no entity
It must happen that the consciousness
is no longer conscious of itself
Knowingness in its ultimate state
is no knowingness
If you have clearly understood what I am saying
you will have no specific
intention or interest left
Do everything with the understanding
that when the body and consciousness go
you need do nothing
Consciousness disappearing
there will be no sense of presence
but I shall very much be
without the sense of presence
Before the I am arrived
I knew no time
birth, living and death constitute nothing
but time duration
Come to the firm conclusion
that I am nothing
You must have the firm conviction
that you are unaffected by birth and death
No knowing is the highest in the
hierarchy of spirituality
the absolute transcends both
knowing and no knowing
The knowledge in you
which knows change
is itself changeless, permanent
You did and do exist
unto eternity
Everything is beingness
but I, the absolute
am not that
The body form is merely
an opportunity
to experience time
The essence and sum total of this whole talk
is called Satguru parabrahman
that state in which
there are no requirements
I am the principle which
survives all the creations
all the dissolutions
How can questions relating to that
which was prior to the body and consciousness
be answered?
Appearance and disappearance
birth and death
these are qualities of beingness
they are not your qualities
Attain that state
which is and was prior to the body
Movement of the sought gurus feet
begins from no knowingness to knowingness
Holding the Satguru feet
is the borderline between
knowingness and no knowingness
Your true being exists prior
to the arising of any concepts
apprehending this is being dead
to the "I am the body" while alive
When beingness forgets itself
that state is parabrahman
I who am there before consciousness
am not concerned in any way
to all that happens in consciousness
Your conviction should be such
that no question at all should arise
in the future about that
How did I come about?
that is the question which needs investigation
Consciousness never comes or goes
it just appears to have come
Can you live like that
as the non manifest?
How can one who is not born die?
It is only the consciousness
that is going to disappear
the absolute is always there
What a fall
the perfect state caught up in these experiences
and trying to derive certain benefit from them
The meaning of the mantra I have given you
is that you are the manifest dynamic principle
not the body
when you abide in that
you become that
You have identified with the body
but you are not the body
The uniform I am-ness
known through the body is available to you
by all means use it
but understand that you are not the uniform
Once you discard this I am-ness uniform
what remains is the parabrahman
That which is eternally current
is the Parabrahman
Before you were born could you have felt
or sensed or known that you exist
without the body?
Feeling that I am present
depends on having a body
I am neither the body
nor the conscious presence
You should not get involved
in what has appeared
I am not the seed
I am not the phenomena
nor am I the consciousness
which is time-bound
Consciousness alone
feels the expanse of consciousness
but I the absolute am not that
The absolute always remains
There is only one thing to be understood
and that is that you are the formless
timeless unborn
Nobody is dying
because nobody was born
Liberation means
It, consciousness
is no more there
Experience occurs where there is change
if there is no change
there can be no experience
Try to understand what they parents
could be without their bodies
I was possessed by the five elemental ghosts
but having stabilized in the Parabrahman
I know what it is
and I am out of it
Satguru parabrahman is all love
for no knowingness
Everything which gets
consumed, exhausted
is unreal
Prior to your birth
and receiving the message I am
how did you function
what were you?
You are
even before the knowingness
you are
There is only one truth in the world
and that is that everything is unreal
Be what you were prior to the label or title
be that
Give up all that you have read and just be
even the experience that you are is not your true nature
Whatever you are prior to the appearance of I am
that is your true nature
It is sufficient to understand without the slightest doubt
with great conviction that there is a state
prior to the arising of consciousness
There is no individual looking at another individual
the sense of presence is cognizant
other than that there is nothing
Waking, sleeping and the sense of presence
are all temporary states
that have come upon me
