35. Across Space and Time – Program #1 – Nisargadatta Tapes

[ Comments Off on 35. Across Space and Time – Program #1 – Nisargadatta Tapes ] Posted on 04.03.09 under Nisargadatta Maharaj, Podcast

This program contains rare audio from the meetings in Khetwadi, Bombay.

There is only One Presence. – THIS – is – IT

***A Transcript of the essential parts of the program appear in the comment pages.***

“Awareness becomes consciousness when it has an object. The object changes all the time. In consciousness there is movement: awareness is motionless and timeless, here now.” Quote from Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

NOTE: The usual programs will still appear, interleaved with these ‘tapes’ from Bombay. These Bombay audio files are bigger than usual. They will take a little longer to download. Streaming the audio may be a problem for those with slower internet connections.

Every ‘event’ throughout ‘all time’ is contained in this singular Presence. The seeming ‘passage’ into this Open View is totally available to everyone beyond the arising thought patterns. Usually this needs to be introduced to us. A living ‘tradition’ exists where-in, ‘one who knows’ this open view, intimately ‘points’ the apparent ‘other’ to recognize and SEE from their own ‘clear space of immediate knowing’.

This program features one such ‘teacher’. Listen to the program and discover all that needs to be known, simply and immediately.

Music by Vas, Sitar piece by Ravi Shanka, Flute piece by Telvin Singh and Sarod piece by Asad Qizilbash plus a short piece from the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

Yes it is all FREE and it has to be that way. These tapes will not be turned into a product for sale at some future time. No one is excluded. A newly introduced Donation Tab appears on this site – top of front page (very small icon) near the contact icon and another at the bottom left hand side of comment pages. If you appreciate these programs, please feel free to support the continuation of the Urban Guru Cafe. It is a non-profit project. Those who do donate ensure that these programs will continue, for themselves as well as for everyone. No one need miss out because of FEES.
All inclusive is the nature of Non Duality.

A sound-scape with a few words thrown in.

A brief program that may assist in the exploration of ‘one’s own’ conscious presence.

That ‘one’s own’ conscious presence is actually the Universal Presence of Awareness.

No theories or beliefs are needed.

10. Exploring what you are

[ Comments Off on 10. Exploring what you are ] Posted on 07.08.08 under Gilbert Schultz, Podcast

Everything, including all concepts and all pointing appear nowhere other than in the natural state of seeing, knowing – you are THAT.

Being is silent – just as in nature, the realm of concepts and expressions may also elicit a resonance in being.

This is a relaxed exploration via various ‘pointers’. Recorded in the backyard garden – the birds join in.

Music interludes by these bands: Argentina, Radio Kabul, Zarafa and Yes (a great band from the 70s).
