Seeds Of Consciousness - 257

🌹 Seeds Of Consciousness - 257 🌹
✍️ Nisargadatta Maharaj

Nisargadatta Gita
📚. Prasad Bharadwaj


🌻106. The highest type of rest is when 'I am' and 'I am not' are both forgotten. It is called 'Param Vishranti', which also means total rest, complete relaxation or utter quietude in the highest state. 🌻

The word 'rest' has to be understood in its highest sense where you don't have rest for a certain period of time, but are eternally at rest.

This state has been called as 'Param Vishranti', or the highest and final rest. In this state both the 'I am' and 'I am not' are forgotten. They are, in fact, aspects of the consciousness and you are neither of them.

The meaning of the expression 'Param Vishranti' has been given as the highest type of rest. (In Marathi, 'param'=highest, 'vishranti'= rest. To clarify even further, the word 'vishranti' maybe split into 'visra'=forget, 'anti'=in the end).
