and shapes to the essentially nameless and formless, realize that every mode of perception is
subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched or smelled, felt or thought,expected or imagined, is in
the mind and not in reality, and you will experience peace and freedom from fear." - Nisargadatta
Maharaj
