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 MaharajWhen you desire the common good, the whole world desires with you. Make humanity's desire your own and work for it. There you cannot fail.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajGive all your attention to the question: 'What is it that makes me conscious?', until your mind becomes the question itself and cannot think of anything else.
