Nonduality Highlights: Issue #4365, Saturday, September 10, 2011
There is no best path or worst path. There is just the path to
which each individual organism gets directed.

The ultimate way is without difficulty; those who seek it make
their own hardship. The true mind is originally pure; those who
exercise it make their own defilement.

Apperception of the highest Truth is not, and cannot be, a matter
of gradual practice. Apperception, in fact, occurs prior to
consciousness, which is the basis of intellect. It can only
happen by itself, spontaneously and instantaneously. It is not in
time, and there are no stages in which deliberate progress is
made. Furthermore, there is NO ONE to make any progress.

Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced
that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident
that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere
verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the
absolute nothingness of the self-image.
- Nisargadatta Maharaj, posted to ANetofJewels
Be open, sensitive, be fully aware of what is from moment to
moment. Don't build around yourself a wall of impregnable
thought. The bliss of truth comes when the mind is not occupied
with its own activities and struggles.
