Z > After I posted, I found this quote by Nisargadatta to be rather relevant for Joe Irrelevant: Merely assuaging fears and satisfying desires will not remove this sense of emptiness you are trying to escape from; only self-knowledge can help you. By self-knowledge I mean full knowledge of what you are not. Such knowledge is attainable and final; but to the discovery of what you are there can be no end. The more you discover, the more there remains to discover. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
