You must watch yourself continuously - particularly your mind - moment by moment, missing nothing. This witnessing is essential for the separation of the self from the not-self. Nisargadatta, p. 27, I AM THAT

Without the knowledge of the knower ther can be no peace. - Nisargadatta, pg 300, I AM THAT

These moments of inner quiet will burn out all obstacles without fail. Don't doubt its efficacy. Try it. -Nisargadatta, p. 217, I AM THAT

"There are no jnanis. Jnana alone is." - Ramana Maharshi

People perform a vast number of complex practices hoping to gain spiritual merit as countless as the grains of sand on the riverbed of the Ganges: but you are essentially already perfect in every way. Don’t try and augment perfection with meaningless practice. If it’s the right occasion to perform them, let practices happen. When the time has passed, let them stop. If you are not absolutely sure that mind is the Buddha, and if you are attached to the ideas of winning merit from spiritual practices, then your thinking is misguided and not in harmony with the Way. To practice complex spiritual practices is to progress step by step: but the eternal Buddha is not a Buddha of progressive stages. Just awaken to the one Mind, and there is absolutely nothing to be attained. This is the real Buddha. Huang Po

A relaxation of being naturally arises if one is not seduced into taking ideas to be truth. - Suzanne Segal

The Self is God. 'I AM' is God. If God be apart from the Self, He must be a Selfless God, which is absurd. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that? Hence atma vidya [self-Knowlegde] is the easiest to attain. - Maharshi's Gospel (p. 25)
