I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing. I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like. Love says "I am everything". Wisdom says "I am nothing". Between the two, my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am both, and neither, and beyond both.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajEven faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all, for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajStay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
