WHAT
by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
When I say a thing is without a cause, I mean it can be with-out a particular cause.
Your own mother was needed to give you birth; But you could not have been born without the sun and the earth.
Even these could not have caused your birth without your own desire to be born. It is desire that gives birth, that gives name and form.
The desirable is imagined and wanted and manifests itself as something tangible or con-ceivable.
Thus is created the world in which we live, our personal world.
The real world is beyond the mind’s ken; we see it through the net of our desires, divided into pleasure and pain, right and wrong, inner and outer.
To see the universe as it is, you must step beyond the net. It is not hard to do so, for the net is full of holes.

The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
