But, on occasion, we might run across some blue Jell-O in a cafeteria somewhere. Don’t eat it. It wasn’t meant to be blue. Something went wrong. 🙂

And I’ve always wondered if the “blue” I see is the same as the “blue” you see. 🙂

It then becomes clear that you are not an object of awareness, but pure Awareness itself. This may have to be repeated many times.

I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like. Love says, “I am everything”. Wisdom says, “I am nothing”. Between the two, my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am both, and neither, and beyond both. -Nisargadatta

How can life not be an illusion when time and space don’t exist (according to Deepak) and matter is mainly (or completely) empty?

As I understand it, nothing is real – but then, I have no experiential knowledge, so what do I know?

recognizes the body-mind is without name and form, it is already there. -Nisargadatta

Rock on, Dr. Chopra.

These are the usual thoughts that occur to many of us, but to get the right answers, its not easy.
