Steady faith is stronger than destiny. Destiny is the result of causes, mostly accidental, and is therefore loosely woven. Confidence and good hope will overcome it easily.

Having never left the house you are looking for the way home
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
My stand is clear produce to distribute, feed before you eat, give before you take, think of others before you think of yourself. Only a selfless society based on sharing can be stable and happy. This is the only practical solution. If you do not want it, then - fight.
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
You know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
There is nothing to do, just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say be yourself since you do not know yourself. Just be.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
It does not matter much what happens.
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
There is no such thing as unconsciousness for it is not experienceable. We infer unconsciousness when there is a lapse in memory or communication.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action - here and now. It is your behavior that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect - whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Knowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself, know yourself.
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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Whatever you come across- go beyond
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
These moments of inner quiet will burn out all obstacles without fail. Don't doubt its efficacy. Try it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Whatever happens, happens to you by you, through you you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Leave greatness to others. Become so small that no one can see you. This conviction results from growing devotion to the supreme reality.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
We miss the real by lack of attention, and create the unreal by excess of imagination.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Having realized that you cannot influence the results, pay no attention to your desires and fears. Let them come and go. Don't give them the nourishment of interest and attention.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Pain is physical suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
What is the worth of a happiness for which you must strive and work? Real happiness is spontaneous and effortless.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Nature is neither pleasant nor painful. It is all intelligence and beauty. Pain and pleasure are in the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
