You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajPure knowledge is not imparted by another; it comes unmasked. It is the one that is listening: it is your own true nature.
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 Maharaj
