In the gap between subject and object lies the entire misery of humankind. – J. Krishnamurti
Subject and object arise together and dissolve together. And yet, in truth, there is no subject, and no object. There is only what’s happening. And even that is saying too much. – Jeff Foster
Here is just emptiness. There is no getting my ego out of the way, and all that stuff. There is just the seeing, shining in great brilliance and clarity. – Douglas Harding
When I know I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I know I am everything, that is love. And between those two my life flows. – Nisargadatta Maharaj
I am not a spiritual teacher although I have gained some wisdom during the years that you may find helpful. I am happy to share it with you and you are welcome to share yours with me.
