Get hold of the main thing: That the world and the self are one and perfect. Only your attitude is faulty and needs readjustment.

Image
There is no such thing as unconsciousness for it is not experienceable. We infer unconsciousness when there is a lapse in memory or communication.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
I ask you only to stop imagining that you were born, have parents, are a body, will die and so on. Just try, make a beginning-it is not as hard as you think.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Awareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
There is nothing wrong with duality as long as it does not create conflict. Multiplicity and variety without strife is joy. In pure consciousness there is light. For warmth, contact is needed. Above the unity of being is the union of love. Love is the purpose of duality.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The only difference between us is that I am aware of my natural state, while you are bemused.... We discover it by being earnest, by searching, enquiring, questioning daily and hourly, by giving one's life to this discovery.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
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
Image
You're free. You've taken this burden of being a human being on yourself. You're free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Forget the known, don't be all the time immersed in your experiences.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Freedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Unless you know yourself, what else can you know?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
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
Image
Words can bring you only up to their own limit to go beyond, you must abandon them. Remain as the silent witness only.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Life is love and love is life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Consciousness is an attribute while awareness is not one can be aware of being conscious, but not conscious of awareness. God is the totality of consciousness, but awareness is beyond all--being as well as not-being.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
