You have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and you have imprisoned yourself in it. Break the spell and be free.

More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
There is nothing to do, just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say be yourself since you do not know yourself. Just be.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don't disturb your mind with seeking.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You take yourself to be limited, but you are not. Discover this. Stay silent and attentive. Be earnest about it. Just be aware of your being here and now. Reality will find you.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Get hold of the main thing: That the world and the self are one and perfect. Only your attitude is faulty and needs readjustment.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
There is only life, there is nobody who lives a life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Knowing that you are nothing is Wisdom, Knowing that you are everything is Love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
We miss the real by lack of attention, and create the unreal by excess of imagination.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
I ask you only to stop imagining that you were born, have parents, are a body, will die and so on. Just try, make a beginning-it is not as hard as you think.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Once you say 'I want to find Truth', all your life will be deeply affected by it. All your mental and physical habits, feelings and emotions, desires and fears, plans and decisions will undergo a most radical transformation.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
No particular thought can be mind's natural state, only silence. Not the idea of silence, but silence itself. When the mind is in its natural state, it reverts to silence spontaneously after every experience, or, rather, every experience happens against the background of silence.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Whatever you come across- go beyond
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Leave your mind alone, that is all. Do not go along with it. After all, there is no such thing as mind apart from thoughts which come and go obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you only because you are interested in them.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
