Nisargadatta Maharaj

There is never an independent entity.

There can be no separate individual.

Eventually, the one who gets liberated is the consciousness.

In spirituality,

one attains a state of non-duality.

There is neither I am nor others.

Self-knowledge is profound and mysterious.

When you know the origin and cause of your consciousness, there will be no birth or death for you

It is like catching the thief.

The I am knowledge was absent.

It has suddenly entered like a thief.

The eternal never said I am.

This thief which entered is saying I am.

we must find out as to where from this thief entered.

You were in the state of non-duality in which the sense of being was absent.

Due to this thief, the duality started with I am and the experience of the world.

The cosmic spirit is the experience of silence in which there are no words.

The appearance of a sense of being is the beginning of conflict.

In its absence, there is peace.

and tranquility in the absence of a sense of being there were no needs including the craving to be or to exist the sense of being gives rise to all kinds of needs
