The river, the two banks, the bridge across -- these are all in the mind.
Words alone cannot take you beyond the mind.
There must be the immense longing for truth, or absolute faith in the Guru.
Believe me, there is no goal, nor a way to reach it.
You are the way and the goal, there is nothing else to reach except yourself.
All you need is to understand and understanding is the flowering of the mind.
The tree is perennial, but the flowering and the fruit bearing come in season.
The seasons change, but not the tree.
You are the tree.
You have grown numberless branches and leaves in the past and you may grow them also in the future -- yet you remain.
Not what was, or shall be, must you know, but what is.
Yours is the desire that creates the universe.
Know the world as your own creation and be free."
Nisargadatta - chapter 76 - I Am That
