Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Questioner: I am engaged in the study of philosophy, sociology and education. I think more mental development is needed before I can dream of self-realisation. Am I on the right track? Maharaj: To earn a livelihood some specialised knowledge is needed. General knowledge develops the mind, no doubt. But if you are going to spend your life in amassing knowledge, you build a wall round yourself. To go beyond the mind, a well furnished mind is not needed. Q: Then what is needed? M: Distrust your mind, and go beyond. Q: What shall I find beyond the mind? M: The direct experience of being, knowing and loving. I Am That, Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
