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.

Unless you know yourself, what else can you know?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
It is just like your tape-recorder. It records, it reproduces - all by itself. You only listen. Similarly, I watch all that happens, including my talking to you. It is not me who talks, the words appear in my mind and then I hear them said.
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
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
To find reality you must be real in the smallest daily action there can be no deceit in the search for truth.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Life is love and love is life.
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
The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.
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
Get hold of the main thing: That the world and the self are one and perfect. Only your attitude is faulty and needs readjustment.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. The law of cause and effect is also a way of thinking. In reality all is here and now and all is one. Multiplicity and diversity are in the mind only.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
