More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
Your first task is to see the sorrow in you and around you your next, to long intensely for liberation. The very intensity of longing will guide you you need no other guide.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To see the unreal is wisdom. Beyond this lies the inexpressible.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You are too much concerned with past and future. It is all due to your longing to continue, to protect yourself against extinction. And as you want to continue, you want others to keep you company, hence your concern with their survival. But what you call survival is but the survival of a dream.
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
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
Even faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all, for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.
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
The mind creates the abyss, and the heart crosses it.
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
You are not what you think yourself to be, I assure you. The image you have of yourself is made up from memories and is purely accidental.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You may die a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. Or, you may keep your body and die only in the mind. The death of the mind is the birth of wisdom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.
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
When I look inside and see that I'm nothing, that's wisdom. When I look outside and see that I'm everything, that's love. And between these two, my life turns.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Knowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself, know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Truth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others all you get is truth and freedom from the false.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Moods are in the mind and do not matter. Go within, go beyond. Cease being fascinated by the content of your consciousness. When you reach the deep layers of your true being, you will find that the mind's surface-play affects you very little.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
