Meditation is a deliberate attempt to pierce into the higher states of consciousness and finally go beyond it. The art of meditation is the art of shifting the focus of attention to ever subtler levels, without losing one's grip on the levels left behind. (...) Save all your energies and time for breaking the wall your mind had built around you. Believe me, you will not regret.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajTo go beyond the mind, you must be silent and quiet. Peace and silence, silence and peace - this is the way beyond. Stop asking questions.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajAwareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWe grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBelieve me, there is no goal, nor a way to reach it. You are the way and the goal, there is nothing else to reach except yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
