Desire leads to experience. Experience leads to discrimination, detachment, self-knowledge - liberation. And what is liberation after all? To know that you are beyond birth and death. By forgetting who you are and imagining yourself a mortal creature, you created so much trouble for yourself that you have to wake up, like from a bad dream. - Nisargadatta Maharaj ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` This quotation is from: "I Am That" Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj The Acorn Press, 1973 ------ **BELIEFNET SHOPPING** Save $20 at the Beliefnet store!
