Robert Adams -"Silence of The Heart " #"SilenceofTheHeart "




Robert: I welcome you with all my heart.

This body does not presume that it has anything new to teach you. I will refer to
this body as I, to make it short. I have nothing new to tell you. I am not a philosopher. I am
not a preacher. I am not worthy. I simply have a confession. I confess to you, your own
reality. It is not a teaching it's a confession. I am speaking to my Self confessing and you
are my Self.
You are sat-chit-ananda — knowledge, existence and bliss. You are not the body or
the mind. What you appear to be is not the truth, it may be a fact but it is not the truth. A
fact is something that appears to be true but it changes.
You cannot be who you think you are for when you were a baby, you were quite
different. And when you were a little boy or a little girl you were also different. And the
way you are now is completely different than you were before. Consequently how can you
be the body? What are you? Who are you? Sat-chit-ananda? What's that?
Even if I tell you this, it means absolutely nothing. You must have your own experience.
You mustn't believe a word I say. Why should you believe me? What do I know? I
am simply confessing to you that there is only para-Brahman, consciousness, bliss, being,
awareness, pure intelligence. This has been my experience. There is nothing else.

Robert Adams "Silence of the Heart" -book

“For a Jnani who has realized the identity of his inner being with the infinite Brahman
there is no rebirth, no migration, and no liberation. He is beyond all this. He is firmly established
in his own Absolute Existence-Knowledge-Bliss true nature.
The further existence of his body and the world appears to the Jnani as an illusion,
which he cannot remove, but which no longer deceives him. After the death of this body, as
in life, he remains where and what he eternally is, the first principle of all beings and things:
formless, nameless, unsoiled, timeless, dimensionless and utterly free. Death cannot touch
him, cravings cannot torture him, sins do not stain him; he is free from all desire and suffering.
He sees the infinite Self in all, and all in the infinite Self, which is his being.
The Jnani confesses his experience thus:
I am infinite, imperishable, Self-luminous, Self-existent, I am without beginning or end,
I am birthless, deathless, without change or decay. I permeate and interpenetrate all things.
In the myriad universes of thought and creation, I Alone Am.”
