The Old World is Dying
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.
— Antonio Gramsci

The flame which is lit up inside, with the body as oil, is called the universal flame. The sense ‘I am’ caught fire and became visible as the world. At the base of consciousness is the unmanifest, the supreme Self.
Do not ever say you are the body.
You are only the knowingness.
You are consciousness.
It is like light.
It is the sense ‘I am’.
It paints all the pictures.
Worship it as the Guru, infinite and boundless.
You expect the fruits of the actions of the three gunas, because you think you are the body.
Doership depends upon the presence of God, so He is called the doer.
The consciousness in us is God…
— Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The fact that we think of our experience as suffering or as bliss is only a factor of our belief — from a soul perspective, everything we experience is a miracle.
