Meditation: Meditate upon the nature of the meditator

Om Om Om  

(Silence) 

Making your vision nonobjective, meditate upon the nature of the meditator. That one is the unknown knower of all that is known. That is Consciousness, just Consciousness alone. Meditate by absorption of your identity in this Consciousness. Bodiless, Consciousness is self-luminous. Formless, it is without boundary. What is the nature of the meditator? This inquiry or discernment is meditation. Inquire “Who am I?” and abide in that as that itself.  

(Silence) 

Questioner: 

You mentioned discernment. The discernment isn’t something I do, but I have to remember this teaching. Whatever is imagined I try to question, where does the reality come from? It is very helpful to wonder, am I two? Could I ever be a second? So, this teaching is so important in unlocking the concepts in my mind.  

Nome:  

You are not a concept in the mind. Who are you? It is wise to recognize the value of the teaching of Self-knowledge. It is important because your bliss and your immortality depend on it.  

Q: I need to discriminate and take down vasanas. That is the goal. Everything that is objective is suffering, and it can’t be myself. It is a hallucination.  I can’t live my life in a hallucination. That is not satisfactory.  

N: What is real? Is reality a concept of vasana, or tendency, an hallucination, an illusion? What is real? You yourself are the reality, but that “yourself” has no individuality, no limitation or bondage, has no other or duality, has no confusion or bewilderment, and ever is just as it is. Practice, meditate, so that you realize this conclusively, and he who realizes it is himself what is realized.  

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
