Image
When you know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is, and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
In nature nothing is at standstill, everything pulsates, appears and disappears. Heart, breath, digestion, sleep and waking - birth and death - everything comes and goes in waves. Rhythm, periodicity, harmonious alternation of extremes is the rule. No use rebelling against the very pattern of life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
It does not matter much what happens.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Between the banks of pleasure and pain flows the river of life. If you spend much time on either bank you will miss out on life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
All your desires, whatever they may be, are expressions of your longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Nature is neither pleasant nor painful. It is all intelligence and beauty. Pain and pleasure are in the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and you have imprisoned yourself in it. Break the spell and be free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
In reality, time and space exist in you. You do not exist in them.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Until we can look at fear and accept it as the shadow of personal existence, as persons we are bound to be afraid.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Leave greatness to others. Become so small that no one can see you. This conviction results from growing devotion to the supreme reality.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You want to know yourself. For this keep steadily in the focus of consciousness, the only clue you have: your certainty of being. Be with it, play with it, ponder over it, delve deeply into it, till the shell of ignorance breaks open and you emerge into the realm of reality.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
Leave your mind alone, that is all. Do not go along with it. After all, there is no such thing as mind apart from thoughts which come and go obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you only because you are interested in them.
