'MY SILENCE SINGS, MY EMPTINESS IS FULL' - I AM THAT no 23 - Nisargadatta Maharaj: Here the questions are from the 'DEHOHAM' (I am the body) plane and the answers are from the 'BRAHMOHAM' (I am pure consciousness) plane. ~ SWAATHMAARAAMAN




MY SILENCE SINGS, MY EMPTINESS IS FULL

Q: The very fact of your experiencing your own world implies duality inherent in all experience.

M: Verbally - yes. But your words do not reach me. Mine is a non-verbal world. In your world the unspoken has no existence. In mine - the words and their contents have no being. In your world nothing stays, in mine - nothing changes. My world is real, while yours is made of dreams.

Q: Yet we are talking.


M: The talk is in your world. In mine - there is eternal silence. My silence sings, my emptiness is full, I lack nothing. You cannot know my world until you are there.

Q: It seems as if you alone are in your world.


M: How can you say alone or not alone, when words do not apply? Of course, I am alone for I am all.

I AM THAT no 23
