Image
Who was born first, you or the world? As long as you give first place to the world, you are bound by it once you realize, beyond all trace of doubt, that the world is in you and not you in the world, you are out of it. Of course your body remains in the world and of the world, but you are not deluded by it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Look at your mind dispassionately this is enough to calm it. When it is quiet, you can go beyond it. Do not keep it busy all the time. Stop it - and just BE.
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
Image
Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind, and it will be flooded with light.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
To expound and propogate concepts is simple, to drop all concepts is difficult and rare
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
How can an unsteady mind make itself steady? Of course it cannot. It is the nature of the mind to roam about. All you can do is to shift the focus of consciousness beyond the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You're free. You've taken this burden of being a human being on yourself. You're free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
