“When you are free of the world, you can do something about it. As long as you are a prisoner of it, you are helpless to change it. On the contrary, whatever you do will aggravate the situation.”

”‘”The only help worth giving is freeing from the need for further help. Repeated help is no help at all. Do not talk of helping another, unless you can put him beyond all need of help.”

-Nisargadatta

Knowing well what it is to die to every moment, while still in the body, one is on intimate terms with Death: physical survival has lost its compelling force and importance. One truly goes through life with a lighter tread.
