Words can bring you only up to their own limit; to go beyond, you must abandon them. Remain as the silent witness only.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou are not in the world...the world is in you," what did he mean? [That is, you are not in the world," that is, there is no "you" that is real or in any world. "The world is in you" means that the world is in your "mind" and is nothing more than a figment of your programming-and-conditioning-induced imaginings.]
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen I look beyond the mind, I see the witness. Beyond the witness, there is infinite intensity of emptiness and silence.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWatch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic. People come and go; you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWho was born first, you or the world? As long as you give first place to the world, you are bound by it; once you realize, beyond all trace of doubt, that the world is in you and not you in the world, you are out of it. Of course your body remains in the world and of the world, but you are not deluded by it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
