I Am That

My favorite book on sprituality. A collection of talks with the Indian Sage Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

“As long as you have all sorts of ideas about yourself, you know yourself though the mist of these ideas; to know yourself as you are, give up all ideas. You cannot imagine the taste of pure water, you can only discover it by abandoning all flavourings.”

“You may know the right words, quote the scriptures, be brilliant in your discussion and yet remain a bag of bones. Or you may be inconspicuous and humble, an insignificant person altogether, yet glowing with loving kindness and deep wisdom.”

“See your world as it is, not as you imagine it to be. Discrimination will lead to detachment; detachment will ensure right action; right action will build the inner bridge to your real being.”
