Consciousness is an attribute while awareness is not; one can be aware of being conscious, but not conscious of awareness. God is the totality of consciousness, but awareness is beyond all--being as well as not-being.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou can become a night watchman and live happily. It is what you are inwardly that matters. Your inner peace and joy you have to earn. It is much more difficult than earning money. No university can teach you to be yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajDo what you believe in and believe in what you do. The rest is a waste of time and energy.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWords can bring you only up to their own limit; to go beyond, you must abandon them. Remain as the silent witness only.
