How can an unsteady mind make itself steady? Of course it cannot. It is the nature of the mind to roam about. All you can do is to shift the focus of consciousness beyond the mind.

More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
In my world love is the only law. I do not ask for love, I give it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Unless you know yourself, what else can you know?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Abandon false ideas, that is all. There is no need of true ideas. There aren't any.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You must realize first of all that you are the proof of everything, including yourself. None can prove your existence, because his existence must be confirmed by you first. Your being and knowing you owe nobody. Remember, you are entirely on your own. You do not come from somewhere, you do not go anywhere. You are timeless being and awareness.
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
If you are angry or in pain, separate yourself from anger and pain and watch them. Externalization is the first step to liberation.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
In my world, nothing ever goes wrong.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Knowing that you are nothing is Wisdom, Knowing that you are everything is Love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You are not the body. You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Give up the idea of being a person, that is all. You need not become what you are anyhow. There is the identity of what you are and there is the person superimposed on it. All you know is the person, the identity - which is not a person - you do not know, for you never doubted, never asked yourself the crucial question: 'Who am I?'
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
To expound and propogate concepts is simple, to drop all concepts is difficult and rare
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Awareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Who was born first, you or the world? As long as you give first place to the world, you are bound by it once you realize, beyond all trace of doubt, that the world is in you and not you in the world, you are out of it. Of course your body remains in the world and of the world, but you are not deluded by it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The real you is timeless and beyond life and death.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.
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
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
The mind creates the abyss, and the heart crosses it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
