Can you lead me back to what I am?

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:

You are - you always have been - where you want to be led. Actually, there really is no 'where' to which you can be led. Awareness of this obvious position is the answer - just the apperception; there is nothing to be done. And the tragic irony is that such awareness and appercepion cannot be an act of volition. Does your waking state come about by itself, or do you awaken yourself as an act of volition? Indeed, the least effort on 'your' part will prevent what otherwise might have happened naturally and spontaneously. And the joke within the joke is that your deliberately not doing anything will also prevent it happening! It is simple, really; both 'doing' something and 'not doing' something are volitional efforts. There must be a total absence of the 'do-er', total absence of both the positive and negative aspects of 'doing'. Indeed, this is true surrender.
