Detach yourself from all that makes your mind restless. Renounce all that disturbs its peace. If you want peace, deserve it. By being a slave to your desires and fears, you disturb peace.

More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To see myself in everybody, and everybody in myself, most certainly is love.
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
Do you realize the unimaginable greatness, the holiness of what you so casually call 'consciousness'? It is the unmanifest Absolute aware of its awareness through the manifestation, of which your mind-body is presently a part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting. It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
I ask you what is the taste of your mouth all you can do is to say: it is neither sweet nor bitter, nor sour nor astringent it is what remains when all these tastes are not. Similarly, when all distinctions and reactions are no more, what remains is reality, simple and solid.
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
Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action - here and now. It is your behavior that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect - whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage.
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
Your weakness is due to your conviction that you were born into the world. In reality the world is ever recreated in you and by you. See everything as emanating from the light which is the source of your own being.
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
If you imagine yourself as separate from the the world, the world will appear as separate from you and you will experience desire and fear. I do not see the world as separate from me and so there is nothing for me to desire, or fear.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature to know that you need nothing to be happy, except Self-knowledge, is wisdom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The only thing required of you is to allow all your raging desires to relax into preferences. Then everything will be done through you and for you, not by you.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
What is the worth of a happiness for which you must strive and work? Real happiness is spontaneous and effortless.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
There is in the body, a current of energy, affection and intelligence, which guides, maintains and energizes the body. Discover that current and stay with it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To be a living being is not the ultimate state there is something [the Reality] beyond, much more wonderful, which is neither being nor non-being, neither living nor not-living. It is a state of Pure Awareness, beyond the limitations of space and time.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Nobody ever fails in Yoga....It is slow in the beginning and rapid in the end. When one is fully matured, realization is explosive.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
