awareness

“Awareness is primordial; it is the original state,

beginning-less, endless, un-caused, un-supported,

without parts, without change.

Consciousness is on contact,

a reflection against a surface,

a state of duality.

There can be no consciousness without awareness,

but there can be awareness

without consciousness, as in deep sleep.

Awareness is absolute,

consciousness is relative to its content;

consciousness is always of something.”

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
