"There is no such thing as a person.……" — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
"There is no such thing as a person. There are only restrictions and limitations. The sum total of these defines the person. The person merely appears to be, like the space within the pot appears to have the shape and volume and smell of the pot."
