Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the absolute nothingness of the self-image.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhat is beautiful? Whatever is perceived joyfully is beautiful. Bliss is the essence of beauty.
