When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom.
When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love.
And between these two, my life turns. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
We have frequently looked at this observation at Satsang as the direct experience as Truth. Recently, however, it became clear some of us were misinterpreting the component, ”And between these two, my life turns.”
We have created boundaries where there are none. We have looked at the experience as nothing and the experience as everything as though they are separate experiences. Further, we have considered wisdom and love from the perspective as duality.
Truth, as Nisargadatta is sharing, is not swinging from one truth to another. The experience is simultaneously fully nothing/everything/wisdom/love beyond boundaries. Words place artificial limits where none actually exist. Beyond all concepts is the apparent manifesting and collapsing of opposites eternally in union.
The only way to fully understand Nisargadatta’s statement is to embody his words as your own clear expression as Truth.
