Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Continued from here
Q. Do you mean to say mere wanting to find out is enough? Surely, both qualifications and opportunities are needed.
These will come with earnestness. What is supremely important is to be free from contradictions: the goal and the way must not be on different levels; life and light must not quarrel; behavior must not betray itself. Call it honesty, integrity, wholeness; you must not go back, undo, uproot, abandon the conquered ground. Tenacity of purpose and honesty in pursuit will being you to your goal.
Q. Tenacity and honesty are endowments, surely! Not a trace of them I have.
All will come as you go on. Take the first step first. All blessings come from within. Turn within. 'I am' you know. Be with it all the time you can spare, until you revert to it spontaneously. There is no simpler and easier way.
