Reflection
undefined
To be a person is to be limited. To be the Self is to be infinite.
— Nisargadatta Maharaj
एक व्यक्ति होना सीमित होना है। स्वयं (आत्मा) होना अनंत होना है।
— निसर्गदत्त महाराज
Why this matters:
Our suffering comes from identifying with the small, limited ‘person.’ Our liberation comes from identifying with the vast, infinite ‘Self.’
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
हमारा दुख छोटे, सीमित 'व्यक्ति' के साथ पहचान करने से आता है। हमारी मुक्ति विशाल, अनंत 'स्वयं' के साथ पहचान करने से आती है।
