"The painter is in the picture" (NM) and all of it and none of it is in me.
"Whatever you may say [about the Supreme] will be both true and false. Words do not reach beyond the mind." - NM
As a wave construed as an ocean is both true and false, so, too, are our thoughts and words "of" the Supreme but not nearly the whole of it.
"When you realize that you are not the person, but the pure and calm witness, and that fearless awareness is your very being, you are the being. It is the source, the Inexhaustible Possibility." - NM
Fearless awareness composed of complete and total abandonment, a skeleton of ashes.
Our personal, misidentified selves intercept life as leaves intercept wind. Our real selves intercept consciousness as daytime intercepts sunlight.
"The entire universe strives to fulfill a desire born of compassion." - NM
All of us at heart constitute a holy impulse.
"The entire field of becoming is open and accessible; past and future coexist now." - NM
As more recently stressed by Eckhart Tolle, which adds resonance and validity.
"See yourself with desireless clarity, that is all." - NM
Nisargadatta shares here a literal description, not an allusion or analogy for the benefit of teaching. He speaks of the 360 degree global vision without center and without end, of a vision absent ourselves and beyond perspective, of consciousness without content, immediately recognized without memory or desire as our essence, our fulfillment, the end of all seeking. It is "am" without trace of "I."
