Quote

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.

All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.
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
Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

By being with yourself, the 'I am', by watching yourself in your daily life with alert interest, with the intention to understand rather than judge, in full acceptance of whatever may emerge, because it is there, you encourage the deep to come to the surface, and enrich your life and consciousness with its captive energies.

Don’t try to understand! It’s enough if you do not misunderstand.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
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
The real does not die, the unreal never lived. Set your mind right and all will be right. When you know that the world is one, that humanity is one, you will act accordingly. But first of all you must attend to the way you feel, think and live. Unless there is order in yourself, there can be no order in the world.
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
Forget the known, don't be all the time immersed in your experiences.
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
Image
All you can teach is understanding. The rest comes on its own.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

These moments of inner quiet will burn out all obstacles without fail. Don't doubt its efficacy. Try it.
