How to find the way to one’s own being? - Nisargadatta Maharaj

#NisargadattaMaharaj #NonDuality #IAMThat #Advaita Q: My question is: How to find the way to one’s own being? M: Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I’? After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The ‘I am’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. Q: I am doing nothing else for the last years. M: What is wrong with striving? Why look for results? Striving itself is your real nature. Q: Striving is painful. M: You make it so by seeking results. Strive without seeking, struggle without greed. Q: Why has God made me as I am? M: Which God are you talking about? What is God? Is he not the very light by which you ask the question? ‘I am’ itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither the body nor mind, and the love of the self in you is for the self in all. The two are one. The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love. Q: How am I to find that love? M: What do you love now? The ‘I am’. Give your heart and mind to it, think of nothing else. This, when effortless and natural, is the highest state. In it love itself is the lover and the beloved. #Self-Realization #Peace #Enlightenment #Happiness #Being
