Nature is neither pleasant nor painful. It is all intelligence and beauty. Pain and pleasure are in the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajDon't ask the mind to confirm what is beyond the mind. Direct experience is the only valid confirmation.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajFreedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.
