Cover of I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta
Have a better look at yourself. The screen is there – it does not change. The light shines steadily. Only the film in between keeps moving and causes pictures to appear. You may call the film – destiny (prarabdha).
— Nisargadatta Maharaj, from the classic ‘I am That‘, p 384

….Sleep is not ignorance; it is your real nature. Wakefulness is not knowledge; it is ignorance. There is full awareness in sleep; there is total ignorance in waking. Your real nature covers both, and extends beyond. The Self is beyond knowledge and ignorance.
— Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi, from the classic, ‘Talks’, p 274
