Nisargadatta Maharaj
Pag.2
(extracted from the book Meditations with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

The search for happinness is the cause of suffering. The world is a repository of desire and fear. True detachment brings peace. The anxiety of “what will happen to me? is removed by detachment.

Our self-image, our ego, is strengthened by aspirations. Hence, one is advised to cast-off personal aspirations. The end of searching is the advent of Self-realization, which is timeless.
Desire is the memory of pleasure and fear is the memory of pain. Both make the mind restless. Moments of pleasure are merely gaps in the stream of pain. How can the mind be happy?

The sense ”I am” is alwasys in the present moment. Eternity is in the present moment. We miss this because our mind wanders between the past and the future. One must understand that nothing exists which one should fear.

Consciousness and the world appear together and disappear together. They are two sides of the same coin. The world exists till the mind exists. The world comes into being with the birth of the body.
pag.2
The mind, by its very nature, divides and opposes. Can there be some other mind, which unites and harmonizes, which sees the whole in the part and the part as totally related to the whole? That mind is beyond the limiting, dividing and opposing mind. In ending the mental process as we know, it. When this comes to and end, tha mind is born.

Realiza that the world is within you and not you in the world.
———
The world appears and then disappears.
