Change your ways of feeling and thinking, take stock of them and examine them closely. You are in bondage by inadvertence. Attention liberates. You are taking so many things for granted.
Begin to question. The most obvious things are the most doubtful. Ask yourself such questions as:
Was I really born?
Am I really so-and-so?
How do I know that I exist?
Who are my parents?
Have they created me, or have I created them?
Must I believe all I am told about myself?
Who am I, anyhow?
You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it. In fact, demolition is easy, for the false dissolves when it is discovered.
—Nisargadatta Maharaj
