The Absolute cannot be remembered because it cannot be forgotten. For those who have identification with the body, this knowledge has no meaning - it can not act. Despite this fact, the visits these people make here will not be totally in vain; they will bear fruit at some future time. The effects of the visits will be like the aftermath of the rains: grass or plants will be seen coming out automatically, sprouting. When someone puts a question, he does not know to whom I am talking. He thinks that I am talking to myself. When the question is there, the reply is spontaneously available. The origin of the "I" -consciousness is being known, the reply comes spontaneously, I am experiencing the world, but for that have I made any efforts? My true state - that is the absolute state - cannot be remembered, because it cannot be forgotten. Without remembering that, and without putting in any efforts, the experience of the world happens. -Nisargadatta
