Lecture: Discard your Knowingness - The Teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj By Tomas Qubeck
Free admission, donations welcome.
Presentation Description:
If you wake up in the morning and say "I don't know! I don't know who I am, I don't know what I am doing or why! I don't understand anything, really, and I don't know why I don't understand!" then you are blessed. Then life, in whatever form it appears before you, can reveal its secret to you. Because your soul is continually asking: Tell me your secret! Reveal to me your dark and soft mystery. I am ready now, Life, because I have dropped all my pretend-knowing, and now I am a living question, a yearning to meet you as you are beneath all the disguise and pretense, pure and direct. Not through the mind, but direct, straight to the heart. I am ripped open and empty, waiting for you only.
A man who called himself Nisargadatta, which means something like "he who is in his natural state", lived in Bombay, India until 1981. Talking with people who came from far places to hear him, he made such statements as: "Who" and "What" as such at the highest level, are nothing: whatever is, is very clear and obvious. But such a simple fact has turned into a riddle, because that principle has identified itself wrongly with a form, and then takes pride in that identification. It has accepted body as its identity.
You are invited to come to an evening of self-inquiry and reflection on the teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
"You knock at the door of reality, shake your thought-wings, loosen your shoulders, and open." -Rumi
Presenter's Biography:
Tomas Qubeck lives on the banks of the Wagner Creek in Talent with his wife, Alia and their cat, Feather. When he isn't at the front desk of the Columbia Hotel in Ashland, he works as a Personal Life Coach who assists his clients to find their own wisdom and clarity for their life. He can often be found after hours in "Villa Oblivion", the cabin on the creek, or on the nearby hillsides, immersing himself in the play of consciousness. Wednesday evenings a small group meets at Villa Oblivion for meditation and self-inquiry.
