Top Highlights

• Witnessing awareness is that to which the coming and going of sentience appears.
• awareness is taught as the nature of the self. It’s the essence of being, knowledge, and love. It’s the sum and substance of all things.
• When your experience isn’t characterized by comings and goings, awareness has no witnessing aspect. This is referred to as “pure consciousness,” or “consciousness without objects.”
• “consciousness” for Nisargadatta is very different from “consciousness” or “awareness” for Shri Atmananda and the direct path.
• Prior to consciousness (Nisargadatta) = Pure consciousness (Atmananda).
