Image
The only difference between us is that I am aware of my natural state, while you are bemused.... We discover it by being earnest, by searching, enquiring, questioning daily and hourly, by giving one's life to this discovery.
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 are not what you think yourself to be, I assure you. The image you have of yourself is made up from memories and is purely accidental.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Consciousness is an attribute while awareness is not one can be aware of being conscious, but not conscious of awareness. God is the totality of consciousness, but awareness is beyond all--being as well as not-being.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Moods are in the mind and do not matter. Go within, go beyond. Cease being fascinated by the content of your consciousness. When you reach the deep layers of your true being, you will find that the mind's surface-play affects you very little.
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
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
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
Freedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.
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
The mind creates the abyss, and the heart crosses it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Words can bring you only up to their own limit to go beyond, you must abandon them. Remain as the silent witness only.
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
To see myself in everybody, and everybody in myself, most certainly is love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Refuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally, without any interference on your part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
All your desires, whatever they may be, are expressions of your longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well.
