Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Detach yourself from all that makes your mind restless. Renounce all that disturbs its peace. If you want peace, deserve it. By being a slave to your desires and fears, you disturb peace.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You must realize first of all that you are the proof of everything, including yourself. None can prove your existence, because his existence must be confirmed by you first. Your being and knowing you owe nobody. Remember, you are entirely on your own. You do not come from somewhere, you do not go anywhere. You are timeless being and awareness.

Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the absolute nothingness of the self-image.

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
All your desires, whatever they may be, are expressions of your longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well.
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
You are not the body. You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness.
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
All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious the deeper the joy. Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage and endurance - these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
