Use your mind. Remember. Observe. You are not different from others. Most of their experiences are valid for you too. Think clearly and deeply, go into the structure of your desires and their ramifications. They are a most important part of your mental and emotional make-up and powerfully affect your actions. Remember, you cannot abandon what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajDo not neglect this body. This is the house of God; take care of it, only in this body can God be realized.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajKnowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself, know yourself.
