Freedom is from something. What are you to be free from? Obviously, you must be free from the person you take yourself to be, for it is the idea you have of yourself that keeps you in bondage.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhatever happens, happens to you by you, through you; you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.
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.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe real does not die, the unreal never lived. Set your mind right and all will be right. When you know that the world is one, that humanity is one, you will act accordingly. But first of all you must attend to the way you feel, think and live. Unless there is order in yourself, there can be no order in the world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
