Nisargadatta Maharaj Quote – “The world is like a sheet of paper…”
The world is like a sheet of paper on which something is typed. The reading and the meaning will vary with the reader, but the paper is the common factor, always present, rarely perceived. When the ribbon is removed, typing leaves no trace on the paper. So is my mind — the impressions keep on coming, but no trace is […]
Nisargadatta Maharaj Quote – “When you deceive yourself…”
When you deceive yourself that you work for the good of all, it makes matters worse, for you should not be guided by your own ideas of what is good for others. A man who claims to know what is good for others is dangerous. Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897 – 1981)

Gregory of Nazianzus Quote – “The great Architect of the universe conceived…”
The great Architect of the universe conceived and produced a being endowed with both natures, the visible and the invisible.

God set […]
P. D. Ouspensky Quote – “There is a way out…”
