Rupert explores the great stillness and silence that are the essence of all the great religious and spiritual traditions. Reading from Nisargadatta Maharaj and quoting the Christian and Sufi Mystics, he shows how sinking into the great stillness that lies - so to speak - behind the mind, is the way to peace and freedom from suffering.
As Nisargadatta Maharaj said in 'I Am That', "All the objects of consciousness form the universe. What is beyond both, supporting both, is the supreme state, a state of utter stillness and silence. Whoever goes there, disappears. It is unreachable by words, or mind. You may call it God, or Parabrahman, or Supreme Reality, but these are names given by the mind. It is the nameless, contentless, effortless and spontaneous state, beyond being and not being."

There is a story told by Stephen Wolinsky ( a disciple of SNM ). He says they we gathered in Maharaj’s room listened to his lectures when a well known yoga instructor enters the room and begins dialoguing with Maharaj. Maharaj asked the man “Who are you?” The man begins telling Maharaj with certainty and fervor about himself “I’m a yoga instructor, meditation teacher” etc. Patiently waiting for the man to finish telling Maharaj everything he claims to be, Maharaj looks at him and says “that’s not it”. Stephen was standing right behind the man and says it was like the man was made out of glass and Maharaj had thrown a stone right through the man and completed shattered his perceptions. This story is a great analogy to summarize what had happened to me when I read “I am That” for the first time. When we understand the contents of our mind and the roots of these contents, we understand we are constantly projecting our own myopic views into the world. Eventually we begin to look at the mind so intensely that it becomes still and almost effortlessly our perception dissociates from our minds and our bodies and our true nature reveals itself “spontaneously”. It’s truly something to marvel at. The one thing standing in the way of seeing our true nature is the mind and it’s constant mechanisms of comparison, judegement, divison, projections, etc. Take care of your mind and body, carefully watch what you feed your mind/body, just know at the deepest “level” of your being. Your true nature stands alone and permeates peace and love through all aspects of life.

Thank you for this Rupert. I have been seeking for quite a while and it finally has occurred that this "me" entity, it has been seeking to improve, get somewhere, understand, figure out things and rather recently noticed that the "me", after all this time seeking, has not once even gotten close to puzzling out non-duality. After realizing this, mind was on the precipice of being dropped, who is going to drop it and how, then there was some fear but after hearing you speak on Stillness, for some reason that sort of finalized that the "me/mind" had to be side-stepped and ignored/dis-identified with in order to be at peace. It has nothing to do with effort! That is what the mind is doing is making an effort to get somewhere, achieve something, enlightenment BUT again it has nothing to do with that, so side-step it. What a relief. What a revelation. 🙂 Nisargadatta said, "“It has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts. When you happen to walk in a crowd, you do not fight every man you meet, you just find your way between. When you fight, you invite a fight. But when you do not resist, you meet no resistance. When you refuse to play the game, you are out of it.” Side-step the mind because it is not any help in realizing the true nature. Mind is basically traffic that needs to be side-stepped and there is peace in that.

@@antalperge1007 "nowhere to go... nothing to do", suggests idleness. Idleness does not develop individual character. A helpless born baby needs to develop into a moral and wise human being. The journey of Personalities is experiences and achieving goals. Mental idleness is a lazy sunburn. What is idleness's contribution to self, family, and society?

​@@steveflorida8699 True and effort is necessary for all things, but I think - correct me if I am wrong - Antal Perge's words point to the idea that "effort" (in general) will not do anything with regards to Being. You cannot "will" or "move" yourself into it, there is nothing phenomenal - any object or experience - that is capable of passing that threshold. It's a fundamental thing. Of course, the paying of the house, the providing for family still happens and needs to happen, but that's not what this is about.

Based on my decades of trying to reconcile Vedanta and modern physics (esp quantum mechanics) Let me respectfully offer an alternative view to Sri Nisargadatta namely "I AM NOT THAT". While I completely agree that everything in the visible universe is indeed an "illusion" (Maya, a 3-D holographic movie- etc) every "particle" and every "event" is indeed a "dream character" and sequence" that appear and disappear in the Dreamer's (GOD?) consciousness. We are there to serve EXACTLY the same purpose that actors in a movie or a play do, namely to "entertain" the audience, and in our case, an audience of ONE. I therefore believe it is erroneous to confuse the dream character with the Dreamer who is merely "observing & enjoying" our wild and crazy behaviors. Our best (and ONLY) course of action is to ACCEPT this stark reality and continue with our "virtual" existence according to the casting of our role assigned by lottery. Thus, I AM THAT can be rephrased as "I AM (for the entertainment) of THAT. 🙏
@kiranlowanshi7856

The phrase "I am that" is used by maharaj as a piinter not to label it as the final truth. He used it because of the limitation of words in explaining the Brahman. "I AM" is the closest to the truth. But the final truth is beyond the "I am". Its the awareness between and beyond the knower and known. If you are referring knower as the " I am", you have misunderstood. The knower rises when a body is born and sets when it dies leaving an imprint of memories in the universal conousiness.

I prefer, “I am more than that” My experience comes from where I put my attention. If everything is God’s body, which part of the “body” am I paying attention to? “I am” is more accurate.

It's like seeing a bright light inside one of those chiseled crystal prisms. Everyone sees a different angle and different refraction of rainbows depending on their viewpoint. It's all very distracting, but everyone sees the same glimpse. If you turn and see the prism from different angles slowly you start to see the light is not inside. Then you feel warm and turn around and realize the sun is behind you.

To those who question seemingly idleness? From " I am That" book: Questioner: To be content with mere being seems to be a most selfish way of passing time. Nisargadatta: A most worthy way of being selfish! By all means be selfish by foregoing everything but the Self. When you love the Self and nothing else, you go beyond the selfish and the unselfish. All distinctions lose their meaning. Love of one and love of all merge together in Love, pure and simple, addressed to none, denied to none. Stay in that Love, go deeper and deeper into it, investigate yourself and love the investigation and you will solve not only your own problems but also the problems of humanity. You will know what to do. Do not ask superficial questions; apply yourself to fundamentals, to the very roots of your being. From: I AM THAT Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Let me try to bring you relief, Matthew. Suppose you awaken from a dream and could dream that dream again with ONE difference only: this time you KNOW that you are dreaming. But you still wouldn't know what was going to happen or how the dream would end. Would your experience of that very same dream not be COMPLETELY different? Just because you shifted from the personal perspective to the correct perspective? Now here comes the shock. Try to apply the same shift of perspective to the dream called life. If you keep trying you discover the natural state, the great stillness where all is well.

But I was shocked to hear him say that when Nisagadatta uses the word consciousness he means awareness, as if they’re synonymous. Nisargadatta is one of the few non-dual teachers/clarifiers I’ve read who DOESN’T use these words synonymously. When he says consciousness, he’s actually saying antahkarana, which my copy of the book defines as: “the psyche, mind. Mind in a collective sense, including intelligence (buddhi), ego (ahamkara), and mind (manas).” So in the translated Nisargaddatta consciousness is basically the entirety of mind with a little “m.” Awareness is the source from which that arises. That’s why you’ll repeatedly hear him talk about “going beyond consciousness.” (Which was even part of Rupert’s selection.) If you go into Nisargadatta’s work thinking that he’s using consciousness and awareness to mean the same thing, you’ll come away VERY confused (as you can’t go “beyond” awareness). To be fair, there are places where he does use “consciousness” in a way that could easily also work as awareness, but I’m unsure if that’s due to limited options with translating words that have no English equivalent or if, as the activity of Awareness, it isn’t misleading to phrase it that way. (I mean, either way you interpret it in those instances, it works.) Again, this was in no way meant to be critical of what Rupert’s actually saying here. Just wanted to give people a heads up in case you ever hear someone claiming that Nisargadatta says there’s something beyond consciousness. And there are other writings/teachings that use awareness and consciousness differently. If they say something like, “consciousness is passing” you’ll know they’re not using it to mean awareness. ☮️

Agree. I have found Michael James's many many (many) videos on Ramana's writings very helpful in clarifying this. Nisargadatta's words I think can be confusing as he does not spell this all out very explicitly. But I Am That definitely stopped me short the first time I read it, many years ago. Thank you Rupert.

An understanding towards anything enlightening will be easier found by dismissing the 'he' in any god..for its clear any fragments of holiness is apart from present day man. Her Highness is closer to the path .

I still enjoy entertaining the vision that we are entrapped in an alien camp for remedial and fallen species. If you reach Samadhi then you get to leave the planet and rejoin your parent species...

Thanx so much Rupert. I was wondering if there’s a way I can email you to share some thing that has been happening to this character, Angel. While reading the book, Rhonda Byrne’s, “ The Greatest Secret”. For the past two years, apparently… There has been a colossal free fall. But lately there seems to be some confusion with radical non-duality speakers, Saying, that what we really are, which there is no we but that it has nothing to do with awareness or consciousness? Can you please elaborate on this, because, I don’t resonate with what some apparent radical non-duality speakers are saying when it comes to this. I understand that Words, labels and concepts, can muddy this….as it’s hard to talk about. However, then I’ve had a couple of other apparent non-duality speakers say that there most definitely is awareness and consciousness. So please let me know if there’s a way, I could speak with you sometime. Thank you….✨

I definitely need to lose some weight to get through "the door". Such a very little door. Itty bitty. I have to take my glasses off to see it.

Rupert thank you for your sharing. I wonder if I might share with you a poem set to music which I composed that reflects the teachings? I could leave a link to it somewhere if you would like.

What created the mind? Is it all not a part of That which is, the I Am? The creations of the mind come from somewhere. Even our "spiritual" ponderings such as this reflection, are a creation of the mind. Perhaps then in our stillness, we rest, as in the metaphorical story of God creating the world, in the bible, "He rested on the 7th day." We step out of the self as creator and rest in the Presence.
