Use your mind. Remember. Observe. You are not different from others. Most of their experiences are valid for you too. Think clearly and deeply, go into the structure of your desires and their ramifications. They are a most important part of your mental and emotional make-up and powerfully affect your actions. Remember, you cannot abandon what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajAll is a play in consciousness. All divisions are illusory. You can know the false only. The true you must yourself be.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen all the false self-identifications are thrown away, what remains is all-embracing love.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBeing oneself is completely beyond all motivation. You cannot be yourself for some reason. You are yourself, and no reason is needed.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBetween the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem.
