There is no second, or higher self to search for. You are the highest self, only give up the false ideas you have about your self.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajFor me the moment of death will be a moment of jubilation, not of fear. I cried when I was born and I shall die laughing.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen you go beyond awareness, there is a state of nonduality, in which there is no cognition, only pure being. In the state of nonduality, all separation ceases.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajA quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
