As a kid I read some unofficially published and privately distributed conversations with Nisargadatta Maharaj, as fan of Ramana Maharshi found those very close to my heart and mind. Had no idea where this sage lived, when, was he still alive… till one evening in casual conversation at friends place…(to be continued) till then another quote:
“True happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the self and can be found in the self only. Find your real self (swarupa) and all else will come with it.” Nisargadatta Maharaj
