Waking up from the dream
To know itself the self must be faced with its opposite - the not-self.
Desire leads to experience. Experience leads to discrimination, detachment, self-knowledge - liberation.
And what is liberation after all? To know that you are beyond birth and death.
By forgetting who you are and imagining yourself a mortal creature, you created so much trouble for yourself that you have to wake up, like from a bad dream. - Nisargadatta Maharaja ‘I Am That’ AlongTheWay, 19 August 2009
