Lesson #2. “All you need is to get rid of the tendency to define yourself.”- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Lesson #4. “The right use of mind is in the service of love, of life, of truth, of beauty.”- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Lesson #5. “When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it. Plurality and diversity are the play of the mind only. Reality is one.”- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Lesson #6. “Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are.”- Nisargadatta Maharaj

To stand up for others, you must first stand up for yourself. To represent others, you must first represent yourself. To lift other people up, you must first lift yourself up. Why? Because you cannot give to others what you do not have within you.

Here is what the great Martin Luther King Jr. said about standing up for other people: He said,” I am coming to feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will. … We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without the hard work time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation.” Change comes when we work together. It is not going to be easy, but “we can do it when we do it together.”
