Look at the content of your mind. You are what you think about. Are you not busy most of the time with your own little person and its daily needs? The value of regular mediation is that it takes you away from the humdrum of daily routine and reminds you that you are not what you believe yourself to be.

~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The all-important word is ‘try’. Allot enough time daily for sitting quietly and trying, just trying, to go beyond the personality with its addictions and obsessions. Don’t ask how; it cannot be explained. You just keep on trying until you succeed.
