"The persons who, after much effort and penance, have fulfilled their ambitions and secured higher levels of experience and action are usually acutely conscious of their standing; they grade people into hierarchies ranging from the lowest non-achiever to the highest achiever. To me, all are equal. Differences in appearance and expression are there, but they do not matter. Just as the shape of a gold ornament does not affect the gold, so does man's essence remain unaffected. Where this sense of equality is lacking, it means that reality has not been touched."
- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (I AM THAT- Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)
