"Your mind is steeped in the habits of evaluation and acquisition and will not admit that the incomparable and unobtainable are waiting timelessly within your own heart for recognition. All you have to do is to abandon all memories and expectations. Just keep yourself ready in utter nakedness and nothingness." N.M.
More hocus pocus? Not at all. Nisargadatta's words are chosen carefully, designed to carry you to the furthest edge of reason then drop you off in darkness at the edge of town. I might be turned off or certainly confused by something described as incomparable and unobtainable. Who needs it? How will I know it when I get there? These are the wrong questions, since I am already "there," already "it" and always have been. There is no acquiring, only awakening. Memory and expectation, conditioning, mind-stuff obscures our experience/recognition of this like the earth eclipsing the sun.
