~by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: "Who am I?" After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The "I am" is certain. The "I am this" is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality.
To know what you are, you must first investigate and
know what you are not. Discover all that you are not - body, feelings,
thoughts, time, space, this or that - nothing, concrete or abstract, which you
perceive to be you.
The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you
perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described
in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and
realize that you are the limitless being.
