There are always moments when one feels empty and estranged.โจ Such moments are most desirable, โจfor it means the soul has cast its moorings and is sailing for distant places. โจThis is detachment -- โจwhen the old is over and the new has not yet come. โจIf you are afraid, the state may be distressing, โจbut there is really nothing to be afraid of. โจRemember the instruction: โจWhatever you come across -- go beyond.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajSee that you are not what you believe yourself to be. Fight with all the strength at your disposal against the idea that you are nameable and describable. You are not. Refuse to think of this or that. There is no other way out of misery, which you have created for yourself through blind acceptance without investigation. Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation. Don't be lazy to think.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajRefuse to think in terms of this or that. All pain needs investigation. The mind is nothing else but the self. Assumption obscures reality without destroying it. All separation, every kind of estrangement and alienation is false..Your being a person is due to the illusion of space and time.The mind creates time and space and takes its own creations for reality.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.
