' When the mind is quiet '...

"The world is but the surface of the mind, and the mind is infinite.

What we call thoughts are just ripples in the mind.

When the mind is quiet, it reflects reality.

When it is motionless through and through, it dissolves and only reality remains.

This reality is so concrete, so actual, so much more tangible than mind and matter, that compared to it even a diamond is soft like butter.

This overwhelming actuality makes the world dream-like."


-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
