Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj in "I Am That; Talks With Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj", said:
"The self by its nature knows itself only. For lack of experience whatever it percieves it takes to be itself. Battered, it learns to look out and to live alone. When right behaviour becomes normal, a powerful inner urge makes it seek its source. The candle of the body is lighted and all becomes clear and bright."
