You suffer and see others suffer, but you don't respond.

[Guest guest]

Nisargadatta: You suffer and see others suffer, but you don't respond.

 

Questioner: What you say is true, but what can I do about it? Such indeed is the

situation. My helplessness and dullness are a part of it.

 

Nisargadatta: Good enough. Look at yourself steadily -- it is enough. The door

that locks you in, is also the door that lets you out. The `I am' is the door.

Stay at it until it opens. As a matter of fact, it is open, only you are not at

it. You are waiting at the non-existent painted doors, which will never open.
