Като тяло, вие сте в пространството. Като ум, вие сте във времето. Но вие тялото ли сте с ума в него?
Някога изследвали ли сте това? Защо не го направите сега с помощта на Нисаргадатта Махарадж?

As body, you are in space. As mind, you are in time. But are you a mere body with a mind in it? Have you ever investigated?

Why not investigate the very idea of body? Does the mind appear in the body or the body in the mind? Surely there must be a mind to conceive the "I-am-the-body" idea. A body without a mind cannot be 'my body'. 'My body' is invariably absent when the mind is in abeyance. It is also absent when the mind is deeply engaged in thoughts and feelings.

You observe the heart feeling, the mind thinking, the body acting; the very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive.

The perceived cannot be the perceiver. Whatever you see, hear or think of, remember - you are not what happens, you are he to whom it happens.

Desire, fear, trouble, joy, they cannot appear unless you are there to appear to. Yet, whatever happens points to your existence as a perceiving centre. Disregard the pointers and be aware of what they are pointing to.

Realize that every mode of perception is subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched or smelt, felt or thought, expected or imagined, is in the mind and not in reality, and you will experience peace and freedom from fear.

When you realize that the distinction between inner and outer is in the mind only, you are no longer afraid.

You are neither the body nor in the body. There is no such thing as body. You have grievously misunderstood yourself. To understand rightly, investigate.

You are not in the body, the body is in you! The mind is in you. They happen to you. They are there because you find them interesting.
