“You see the world through a net of your desires …You want peace, love, happiness and work hard to create pain, hatred and war. You want longevity and overeat, you want friendship and exploit. See your net as made of such contradictions and remove them - your very seeing them will make them go”
— I Am That l, by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

A dense spiritual text recommended by Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi). I can only handle one page a day, so much to reflect on 🤯

I reveal only what I conceal and I conceal what I reveal. It is paradoxical because it says the same thing twice in a different way. The subject is given both an extra meaning, like a double meaning or pun, and also a more precise meaning. The statement has some truth in that inevitably every theory must hide its own constructedness to function as an explanation of reality and hence present itself as noncontradictory.
