“Our minds are just waves on the ocean of consciousness. As waves, they come and go. As ocean, they are infinite and eternal. Know yourself as the ocean of being, the womb of all existence.”

― Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“We do not see the world as it is. We see it as we are.”
― Anne Fadiman, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures
