Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
As long as you do not see that it (personality/person/vyakti) is mere habit, built on memory, prompted by desire, you will think yourself to be a person - living, feeling, thinking, active, passive, pleased or pained. Question yourself, ask yourself, "Is it so? Who am I? What is behind and beyond all this?" Soon you will see your mistake. And it is in the very nature of a mistake to cease to be, when seen.
Q. The Yoga of living, of life itself, we may call the natural yoga (nisarga yoga). It reminds me of the Primal Yoga (adhi yoga), mentioned in the Rig Veda which was described as the marrying of life with mind.
A life lived thoughtfully, in full awareness, is by itself 'nisarga yoga'.
Q. What does the marriage of life and mind mean?
Living in spontaneous awareness, consciousness of effortless living, being fully interested in one's life - all this is implied.
