You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIf you are angry or in pain, separate yourself from anger and pain and watch them. Externalization is the first step to liberation.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajTrue happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the Self and can be found in the Self only. Find your real Self and all else will come with it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
