Whatever you do against your better knowledge is sin. (…) Remembering your self is virtue, forgetting your self is sin. (…) - Nisargadatta Maharaj

How does the personality come into being? By memory. By identifying the present with the past and projecting it into the future. Think of yourself as momentary, without past and future, and your personality dissolves.

Do not be afraid of freedom from desire and fear. It enables you to live a life so different from all you know, so much more intense and interesting that, truly, by losing all you gain all.

(…) This must be well grasped; the world hangs on the thread of consciousness, no consciousness, no world.
