The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it. —Nisargadatta Maharaj







.



The appearance of water in a mirage persists after the fact that it is a mirage has dawned on us. So it is with the world.

Though knowing it to be unreal, it continues to manifest - but we do not try to satisfy our thirst with the water of the mirage.

As soon as one knows that it is a mirage, one gives it up as useless and does not run after it to get water.


—Ramana Maharshi


.



A billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head. But in you is the presence that will be, when all the stars are dead.


—Rainer Maria Rilke
