there is nothing new under the sun –Ecclesiastes 1:9

  






.



There is nothing new you will find here. 

The work we are doing is timeless. 

It was the same ten thousand years ago. 

Centuries roll on.


—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Consciousness is always Self-consciousness. If you are conscious of anything you are essentially conscious of yourself.
 
Unselfconscious existence is a contradiction in terms. It is no existence at all. It is merely attributed existence, whereas true existence, the SAT, is not an attribute, it is the substance itself. 
It is the Vastu (Reality). 
Reality is therefore known as SAT-CHIT, being consciousness, and never merely the one to the exclusion of the other. The world neither exists by itself, nor is it conscious of its existence. How can you say that such a world is real?

And what is the nature of the world? It is perpetual change, a continuous, interminable flux. A dependent, unselfconscious, ever-changing world cannot be real.

—Ramana Maharshi
