When the mind is quiet, we come to know ourselves as the pure witness. We withdraw from the experience and its experiencer and stand apart in pure awareness, which is between and beyond the two. The personality, based on self-identification, on imagining itself to be something: 'I am this, I am that', continues, but only as a part of the objective world. Its identification with the witness snaps.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajAll separation, every kind of estrangement and alienation is false. All is one.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe attitude of silent observation is the very foundation of yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.
