Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.

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
If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. Its your restlessness that causes chaos.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Laugh with people laughing, cry with people crying, but don't fall into the river of world illusion. Stay on the banks.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
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
We are slaves of what we don't knowof what we know we are masters.Whatever vice or weakness in ourselves we discoverand understand its cause and workings,we overcome it by the very knowing.The primary purpose of meditation is to become more consciousand familiar with our inner life.The ultimate purpose is to reach the source of life.
