Living Without the Personal ‘Me’ – Nisargadatta Maharaj

13 in a series of videos based on the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj. This chapter explores the end of the illusory personal self. 00:00 — What do you mean by the person is not real? 01:25 — So the ‘I’ I take myself to be is imagined? 02:52 — How can I function in the world without a personal identity? 04:11 — What happens to relationships when there is no person? 05:11 — Does this mean I should reject my personality or story? 06:15 — If there is no doer, who lives my life? 07:19 — Is compassion still possible without a person? 08:08 — What does daily life look like when the person is gone? 09:19 — Isn't this just spiritual dissociation? 10:26 — How do I live from the truth and still be in the world? 📚 The words are sometimes taken verbatim from the satsang transcript translations - and sometimes are reinterpretations to aid clarity - the context remains true to the teachings. 🙇🏻 All work on this channel is offered under the Fair Use Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976 — allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
