Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
September 21, 1980.
If I understand right now that my vital breath is quitting, I am not going to arrest it. I am not going to say "You stop now, wait for sometime," because I know very well it is of no use retaining this vital breath and life force.
Any number of dissolutions have come and gone, but in my true, eternal state I am untouched by them. Prior to this experiential state I was perfect in every respect, with the arrival of this beingness this imperfect state has started, and I am fed up with that.
If you really want eternal peace, don't bother about anybody else, worry about your own self, investigate only your own self.
Who is going to give you eternal peace? It is only that sun, that "I Am". If you embrace that Self-effulgent sun everything else will go, but you will prevail eternally.
