Where did I come from?
Where am I going to?
Came with the cloud,
Going with the wind.
Then, what is this coming and going?

"Existence or consciousness is the only reality. Consciousness plus waking, we call waking. Consciousness plus sleep, we call sleep. Consciousness plus dream, we call dream. Consciousness is the screen on which all the pictures come and go. The screen is real, the pictures are mere shadows on it."

"The state of being is permanent and the body and the world are not. They are fleeting phenomena passing on the screen of being-consciousness which is eternal and stationary."

Sri Ramana Maharshi quotes

Namaste ;-)

I know, that is why when someone asked me if I was living in duality, I was like "?! Where is this duality thing?!"

Hehe

The end part of your quote is pretty illuminating, because one may realize that consciousness is eternal but not realize that being has the same nature. Not all things are dualities that seem so. The reality is there are different things that a human needs, and while some of them may seem opposed to one another, indeed they are not.
