“Daylight, darkness, dusk & dawn, winter & springtime come & go. Time plays & life ebbs away. Strength has left my body;my head has become bald, gums toothless and leaning on crutches. It is indeed hard to cross this boundless ocean of samsara. chan Govinda, there is no other way now” say AdiSankara

Sunset and a quote from an Indian mystic: ‘I am’ is an ever-present fact, while ‘I am created’ is an idea. Neither God nor the universe have come to tell you that they have created you. The mind obsessed by the idea of causality invents creation and then wonders ‘who is the creator?’ The mind itself is the creator. SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ
