You are so accustomed to think of yourselves as bodies having consciousness that you just cannot imagine consciousness as having bodies. Once you realize that bodily existence is but a state of mind, a movement in consciousness, that the ocean of consciousness is infinite and eternal, and that, when in touch with consciousness, you are the witness only, you will be able to withdraw beyond consciousness altogether.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe relinquishing of the lesser is the gaining of the greater. Give up all and you gain all.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajTruth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others; all you get is truth and freedom from the false.
