 "All worldly activities are being done for the sake of the entertainment of the consciousness of every living being.

The quality of the fruit depends upon the quality of the seed. Hence, it is important to listen to good things.

What is seen is the reflection of the seer’s own consciousness. The pervader (you, as consciousness) and the pervaded (the manifest universe) are not different; they are one and the same. THAT, through which space is created, is within us. Mind has neither birth nor death. Mind means the speech (thoughts). The mind becomes silent when the word flow ceases. The word comes from space; the mind comes through the word, and your behavior depends upon your mind. In fact, you are not the doer.

You wear clothes, but you do not say, ‘I am the clothes.’ Similarly, learn to say, ‘I am not the body.’ Your form is of the nature of space." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
