TALKS WITH NISARGADATTA |
|
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) |
It has been said his teacher traveled and was a 'householder teacher,' who died before passing a lineage, Nisargadatta honored all of his teachers. Consider how also with no formal education he became a successful small shop keeper, surviving with his family. What did this man say when looking into the eyes of the poor or hopeless in the slums of Bombay and others from afar... also ultimately cautioning about 'spiritual entertainers,' thereby creating leaders, not followers. In final words he taught anything of real value was not to be found in statues, mountains, travel or the external but rather in the least obvious place... |
