True happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the Self and can be found in the Self only. Find your real Self and all else will come with it.

More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. The law of cause and effect is also a way of thinking. In reality all is here and now and all is one. Multiplicity and diversity are in the mind only.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To expound and propogate concepts is simple, to drop all concepts is difficult and rare
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Until we can look at fear and accept it as the shadow of personal existence, as persons we are bound to be afraid.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
There are no steps to self-realization. There is nothing gradual about it. It happens suddenly and is irreversible. You rotate into a new dimension, seen from which the previous ones are mere abstractions. Just like on sunrise you see things as they are, so on self-realization you see everything as it is. The world of illusions is left behind.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
All you need is to stop searching outside for what can be found only within. Set your vision right before you operate. You are suffering from acute misapprehension . Clarify your mind, purify your heart, sanctify your life - this is the quickest way to a change in your world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Abandon the false and you are free of pain truth makes happy, truth liberates.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
I ask you only to stop imagining that you were born, have parents, are a body, will die and so on. Just try, make a beginning-it is not as hard as you think.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Do you realize the unimaginable greatness, the holiness of what you so casually call 'consciousness'? It is the unmanifest Absolute aware of its awareness through the manifestation, of which your mind-body is presently a part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To be a living being is not the ultimate state there is something [the Reality] beyond, much more wonderful, which is neither being nor non-being, neither living nor not-living. It is a state of Pure Awareness, beyond the limitations of space and time.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature to know that you need nothing to be happy, except Self-knowledge, is wisdom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Refuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally, without any interference on your part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Don’t try to understand! It’s enough if you do not misunderstand.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
It is your restlessness that causes chaos.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Laugh with people laughing, cry with people crying, but don't fall into the river of world illusion. Stay on the banks.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Abandon false ideas, that is all. There is no need of true ideas. There aren't any.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You take yourself to be limited, but you are not. Discover this. Stay silent and attentive. Be earnest about it. Just be aware of your being here and now. Reality will find you.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Your first task is to see the sorrow in you and around you your next, to long intensely for liberation. The very intensity of longing will guide you you need no other guide.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
