Quote by Nisargadatta Maharaj

“The mind can only work with name or form or image. . . . What I am saying about your true nature is so simple that the mind cannot grasp it. . . . The manifest is seen as light, and the unmanifest as dark, but what *is* is the same thing--That which perceives both.”

“In 1530 [H. C. Agrippa] published at Antwerp a book, On the Vanity of Sciences and Arts, a curious, nihilistic work, whose central thesis is that knowledge only brings man to disillusionment and recognition of how little he knows. It reads like an anticipation of Faust’s speech in Act I of Goethe’s play. The only worthwhile study, says Agrippa, is theology and scripture. He was undoubtedly sincere.”
