This revelation of "I am" is true wisdom. We mistake our deductions born of accumulated knowledge, our time- and space-bound experience, for wisdom. We take heaps of knowledge for wisdom, lots of experience for wisdom. Not so. That kind of wisdom leaves us on our deathbeds clutching our toys and crying for mommy. True wisdom is beyond the ledge of know, beyond any experience or conception. This may be why old age is not associated as it once was with wisdom. Most old farts nowadays and probably always are just decaying vegetables who missed out on the blossoming and ripening of their true nature. Most must wait for death to realize wisdom.
"Beyond the witness there is the infinite emptiness and silence." N.M.
These words are like booster rockets - they fall off as you sail on as boundless self.
"If you try to understand the unmanifested with the mind, you at once go beyond the mind, like when you stir the fire with a wooden stick, you burn the stick." N.M.
"The mind cannot know what is beyond the mind, but the mind is known by what is beyond it." N.M.
Reminds me of Meister Eckhart: "the eye through which I see God is the same eye through which He sees me."
