The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.

More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The world is like a sheet of paper on which something is typed. The reading and the meaning will vary with the reader, but the paper is the common factor, always present, rarely perceived. When the ribbon is removed, typing leaves no trace on the paper. So is my mind - the impressions keep on coming, but no trace is left.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Leave your mind alone, that is all. Do not go along with it. After all, there is no such thing as mind apart from thoughts which come and go obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you only because you are interested in them.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Don't rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage. Go beyond it altogether.
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
Once you understand that the false needs time and what needs time is false, you are nearer the Reality, which is timeless, ever in the NOW.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
What you need will come to you if you do not ask for what you do not need.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
All is a play in consciousness. All divisions are illusory. You can know the false only. The true you must yourself be.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Everybody does the same mistake: refusing the means, but wanting the ends. You want peace and harmony in the world, but refuse to have them in yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
In my world, nothing ever goes wrong.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
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
In peace and silence, the skin of the 'I' dissolves and the inner and the outer become one.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Life is love and love is life.
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
A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Having never left the house you are looking for the way home
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Once you say 'I want to find Truth', all your life will be deeply affected by it. All your mental and physical habits, feelings and emotions, desires and fears, plans and decisions will undergo a most radical transformation.
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
