The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIt is your fixed idea that you must be something or other, that blinds you.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajUntil we can look at fear and accept it as the shadow of personal existence, as persons we are bound to be afraid.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen 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.
