Being the witness...

Discover all you are not.

Body, feelings,
thoughts, ideas, time, space, being and
not-being, this or that -

nothing concrete
or abstract you can point out to is you.

A
mere verbal statement will not do -

you may
repeat a formula endlessly without any result
whatsoever.

You must watch yourself
continuously -

particularly your mind -

moment
by moment, missing nothing.

This witnessing
is essential for the separation of the self from
the not-self.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj
