What about the witness? Is it real or unreal? ~ Nisargadatta


Questioner: What about the witness? Is it real or unreal?

Nisargadatta: It is both. The last remnant of illusion, the first touch of the real. To say: I am only the witness is both false and true: false because of the 'I am', true because of the witness. It is better to say: 'there is witnessing'. The moment you say: 'I am', the entire universe comes into being along with its creator.
