Watch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic. People come and go you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
When effort is needed, effort will appear. When effortlessness becomes essential, it will assert itself. You need not push life about. Just flow with it and give yourself completely to the task of the present moment.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The world does not yield to changing. By its very nature it is painful and transient. See it as it is and divest yourself of all desire and fear. When the world does not hold and bind you, it becomes an abode of joy and beauty. You can be happy in the world only when you are free of it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Give your real being a chance to shape your life. You will not regret it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

To see the unreal is wisdom. Beyond this lies the inexpressible.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The problem is not yours - it is your mind's only. Begin by disassociating yourself from your mind. Resolutely remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
What you need will come to you if you do not ask for what you do not need.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
In reality, time and space exist in you. You do not exist in them.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You have never been, nor shall ever be, a person. Refuse to consider yourself as one. But as long as you do not even doubt yourself to be Mr. So-and-so, there is little hope. When you refuse to open your eyes, what can you be shown?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
In my world love is the only law. I do not ask for love, I give it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
As you watch your mind, you discover your self as the watcher. When you stand motionless, only watching, you discover your self as the light behind the watcher.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
No particular thought can be mind's natural state, only silence. Not the idea of silence, but silence itself. When the mind is in its natural state, it reverts to silence spontaneously after every experience, or, rather, every experience happens against the background of silence.
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
You're free. You've taken this burden of being a human being on yourself. You're free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
