The old grooves must be erased in your brain, without forming new ones. You must realize yourself as the immovable, behind and beyond the movable, the silent witness of all that happens.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe attitude of silent observation is the very foundation of yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajCome to the conclusion: I am unborn, I was unborn and I shall remain unborn
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.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajRefuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally, without any interference on your part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
