Your Logic Cannot Grasp The Guru

Somebody once asked the enlightened Master Nisargadatta Maharaj, 'Bhagawan, you say enlightened beings do not have karma. Then how are you moving your body? You cannot even move your body without having some karma.'

Understand? You need to have some karma, only then you can even move your hand or you can talk or perform any action.

Nisargadata Maharaj said, 'I am not doing anything.'

The disciple said 'No, you don't understand my question. How are you even talking to me? Even that is an action. How are you talking to me if there is no karma?'

Bhagawan said, 'I am not misunderstanding; you are misunderstanding. Again I am telling you, I am not talking to you.' Very difficult to talk to these enlightened guys! I understand, many times, what my disciples go through!

The disciple was really confused, because he is talking and saying I am not talking. Another big problem is that we have to believe they are telling the truth! We can't say, 'Why are you lying?' That is another difficulty.

The disciple asked, 'Bhagawan, please explain that!'

Maharaj says beautifully, 'Understand, because there is a movement in you, you think there is a movement in me. You can never understand that talking can happen without any movement in the inner space. That is why you think that when a sound comes out of my mouth, there is the same kind of a movement in my inner space also.'

Maharaj says 'In you, you never had a moment where your body or your mouth can move without your being moving. In me, I have experienced my body or mouth or even mind or anything can move, but inside me, in my inner space, nothing moves.'
