What is meditation?
Meditation is not this body-mind meditating as an individual, but it is this knowledge ‘I am’, this consciousness, meditating on itself.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
When we inquire into the mental meanderings of the mind, and recognize that awareness is there in that very moment, and that WE aren’t DOING it, we realize that awareness is the source of inquiry, as inquiry is happening. AND, no one is doing anything. No questioner...no answer. Only awareness.

Silence and Self Discovery
Silence is the true upadesa. It is the perfect upadesa. It is suited only for the most advanced. Others are unable to draw full inspiration from it. Therefore they require words to explain the Truth. But Truth is beyond words. It does not admit or explain. It merely indicates the truth through self-discovery.”

Welcome All...
This human being is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
Jalaluddin Rumi
