You Cannot Be Something and Know It at the Same Time

A woman, who has followed Ramana Maharshi for many years, appreciates the Pathless Path. She asks if the open space she experiences is ajatavada. Rupert explains that ajatavada is the way consciousness experiences itself. This is the reality of all this multiplicity and diversity. You cannot be something and know it at the same time. You can know it when you ask, 'Who am I really?' And you know yourself prior to experience as what seems to be an empty, aware, infinite space, much like deep sleep.

From event 11 November - 02 December, 2023 Seven-Day Retreat at The Vedanta – 11 to 18 November
