Unity indicates the infinite,duality the finite.The infinite is eternal,the finite,temporal.
[One reaches the Supreme state] by renouncing all lesser desires. As long as you are pleased with the lesser, you cannot have the highest. Whatever pleases you keeps you back. Until you realize the unsatisfactoriness of everything, its transiency and limitation, and collect your energies in one great longing, ever the first step is not made. On the other hand, the integrity of the desire for the Supreme is by itself a call from the Supreme. Nothing, physical or mental, can give you freedom. You are free once you understand that your bondage is of your own making and cease forging the chains that bind you.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Yesterday I was reading one of these wonderful quotes from Nisargadatta Maharaj and ...how was it?..He said something like..You can't know the knower because you
are the knower..but the
knowing is proof of the existence of the knower just as colours are proof of the existence of light.
