Naturalness

 In yesterday's excerpt, Suzuki spoke of naturalness. In response, Andrew Main sent this:

Nisargadatta, the name Maruti Kambli gave himself when he began teaching, means “Giver (Bestower) of Naturalness”. “Nisarga” निसर्ग = “nature, natural”; Datta दत्त = giver (cf. Latin “data”, from “datum”, something given, from “dare” to give). 

Nisargadatta taught "Nisarga Yoga”. 

“'Nisarga' means natural.  The basic translation of his name was 'Mr. Natural'". – Jack Kornfield http://nisargadatta.net/kornfield.html
