Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Q. Are there not good desires and bad, high desires and low?
M. All desires are bad, but some are worse than others. Pursue any desire, it will always give you trouble.
Even the desire to be free of desire?
Why desire at all? Desiring a state of freedom from desire will not set you free. Nothing can set you free, because you are free. See yourself with desireless clarity, that is all.
It takes time to know oneself.
How can time help you? Time is succession of moments; each moment appears out of nothing and disappears into nothing, never to reappear. How can you build on something so fleeting?
What is permanent?
Look to yourself for the permanent. Dive deep within and find what is real in you.
