Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Q. What made you so dispassionate?
Nothing in particular. It so happened that I trusted my Guru. He told me I am nothing but my self and I believed him. Trusting him, I behaved accordingly and ceased caring for what was not me, nor mine.
Q. Why were you lucky to trust your teacher fully while our trust is nominal and verbal?
Who can say? It happened so. Things happen without cause and reason and, after all, what does it matter, who is who? Your high opinion of me is your opinion only. Any moment you many change it. Why attach importance to opinions, even your own?
There is consciousness in which everything happens. It is quite obvious and within the experience of everybody. You just do not look carefully enough. Look well, and see what I see.
