If you want to know your true nature, you must have yourself in mind all the time, until the secret of your being stands revealed. - Nisargadatta Maharaj

(…) All kind of experience may come to you – remain unmoved in the knowledge that all perceivable is transient, and only ‘I am’ endures.

When there is total surrender, complete relinquishment of all concern with one’s past, present and future, with one’s physical and spiritual security and standing, a new life dawns, full of love and beauty; then the guru is not important, for the disciple has broken the shell of self-defense. Complete self-surrender is liberation by itself.

(...) one is always free. You are both conscious and free to be conscious. Nobody can take this away from you. (…)
