You know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.

Image
No particular thought can be mind's natural state, only silence. Not the idea of silence, but silence itself. When the mind is in its natural state, it reverts to silence spontaneously after every experience, or, rather, every experience happens against the background of silence.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The essence of saintliness is total acceptance of the present moment, harmony with things as they happen.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
There is nothing to do, just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say be yourself since you do not know yourself. Just be.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
To see myself in everybody, and everybody in myself, most certainly is love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
There are no steps to self-realization. There is nothing gradual about it. It happens suddenly and is irreversible. You rotate into a new dimension, seen from which the previous ones are mere abstractions. Just like on sunrise you see things as they are, so on self-realization you see everything as it is. The world of illusions is left behind.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You are really in search of yourself, without knowing it. You are love-longing for the love-worthy, the perfect lovable. Due to ignorance you are looking for it in the world of opposites and contradictions. When you find it within, your search will be over.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
My stand is clear produce to distribute, feed before you eat, give before you take, think of others before you think of yourself. Only a selfless society based on sharing can be stable and happy. This is the only practical solution. If you do not want it, then - fight.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

It does not matter much what happens.
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
Image
Learn to live without self concern. For this you must know your own true being as indomitable, fearless and ever victorious. Once you know with absolute certainty that nothing can trouble you but your own imagination, you come to disregard your desires and fears, concepts and ideas, and live by truth alone.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Meditation will help you to find your bonds, loosen them, untie them and cast your moorings. When you are no longer attached to anything, you have done your share. The rest will be done for you.
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
Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of Yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. This is what I call nisarga yoga, the Natural yoga. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
When I look beyond the mind, I see the witness. Beyond the witness, there is infinite intensity of emptiness and silence.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Abandon the false and you are free of pain truth makes happy, truth liberates.

All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.

To find reality you must be real in the smallest daily action there can be no deceit in the search for truth.
