Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
The trouble is, everybody wants to have the knowledge of the Self without giving up the identification with the body, they are contradictory.
Give up this identification and everything becomes simple.
A child may be playing with the smallest coin, and if it is removed will
be greatly agitated. You accept your identification with the same
determination, the same anxiety, in spite of the knowledge which you are being given.
Even if you give the child a toy made of gold, he will reject
it because he has his heart set on that small coin. Even if I give you
this knowledge, which is priceless, it will not be acceptable.
