Book Club: Friday May 26th, 8 pm Paris Time, 2 pm New York time
Dearest Friends,
The next Book Club meeting is Friday, May 26th : 8pm Paris time, 2 pm New York time. Kathryn will be hosting.
This week, our quotes come from the teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
There is no practice or discipline to be followed, merely listen to me and accept what I tell you with firm conviction. The only thing which anyone has is the conviction that one exists, the conscious Presence. Meditation is only on that sense of Presence, nothing else.
This sense of presence is not as an individual sitting, but the sense of presence without words. Meditate on that which knows you are sitting here. Your feeling that your body is here, is identification with the body, but that which knows that this body is sitting here is the expression of the Absolute.
Mind is the nature of the material. You are not the material. You are that which understands the material. That sense of Presence will explain anything that is necessary for you to understand. Your effort will not do it, but that sense of Presence with which you become one, will do it.
It is not necessary for you to concentrate on it throughout the day, in all your activities. It is always there, whatever you do, the essence of it is the body/mind.
