~Nisargadatta Maharaj

“If you want to remember your coming here this morning, treat that as the highest god which gives us the sense of presence - this conscious presence, which makes us feel that we are, we exist, we are alive. we are present. If you do, it will unfold itself and gives us all the necessary knowledge.

You must have the firmest conviction that this consciousness is our parent principle, the highest god; then you will have all the necessary knowledge. If there is one principle which can save us, which is our capital, it is that which gives us the sense of presence, this consciousness. Be one with it, pray to it, and treat it as the only god. Whatever we have, whatever we acquire, is only because of this consciousness, and to be one with it we don’t require any implements, any instruments, any money; there is no expense involved !

This consciousness is free of inhibitions, any conditions, and, being without obstructions, it is totally free. If we resort to it, it will also make us free.”
