Nisargadatta Maharaj from I am That

Just live your life as it comes.
Keep quietly alert, inquiring into the real nature of yourself.
Perception is based on memory and is only imagination.
The world can be said to appear but not to be.
Only that which makes perception possible is real.

You agree to be guided from within and life becomes a journey into the unknown.
Give up all names and forms, and the Real is with you.
Know yourself as you are. Distrust your mind and go beyond.
Do not think of the Real in terms of consciousness and unconsciousness.
It is utterly beyond both.
It gives birth to consciousness.
All else is in consciousness.

Nothing you can see, feel or think is so.
Go beyond the personal and see.
Stop imagining that you were born.
You are utterly beyond all existence and non-existence,
utterly beyond all that the mind conceives.
Question yourself: Who am I?
What is behind and beyond all this?
Soon you will see that thinking yourself to be a person is mere habit built on memory.
Inquire ceaselessly.

Just be aware of your being here and now.
There is nothing more to it.
In reality you are not a thing nor separate.

You are the infinite potentiality, the inexhaustible possibility.
Because you are, all can be.
The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
You are neither consciousness nor its content.
You are the timeless Source.
Disassociate yourself from mind and consciousness.

Find a foothold beyond and all will be clear and easy.
