There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don't disturb your mind with seeking.

More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
What you need will come to you if you do not ask for what you do not need.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
If you imagine yourself as separate from the the world, the world will appear as separate from you and you will experience desire and fear. I do not see the world as separate from me and so there is nothing for me to desire, or fear.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You are really in search of yourself, without knowing it. You are love-longing for the love-worthy, the perfect lovable. Due to ignorance you are looking for it in the world of opposites and contradictions. When you find it within, your search will be over.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Truth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others all you get is truth and freedom from the false.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Don't pretend to be what you are not. Don't refuse to be what you are.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Meditation will help you to find your bonds, loosen them, untie them and cast your moorings. When you are no longer attached to anything, you have done your share. The rest will be done for you.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The essence of saintliness is total acceptance of the present moment, harmony with things as they happen.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The window is the absence of the wall, and it gives air and light because it is empty. Be empty of all mental content, of all imagination and effort, and the very absence of obstacles will cause reality to rush in.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
It is your restlessness that causes chaos.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
In your world everything must have a beginning and an end. If it does not, you call it eternal. In my view, there is no such thing as beginning and end - these are all related to time. Timeless being is entirely in the now. Being and not-being alternate and their reality is momentary. The immutable Reality lies beyond space and time.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
When you sit quiet and watch yourself, many things may come to the surface. Do nothing about them, don't react to them. As they have come, so will they go, by themselves. All that matters is mindfulness, total awareness of oneself, or rather, of one's mind.
