More quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Forget the known, don't be all the time immersed in your experiences.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

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.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
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
You are so used to the support of concepts that when your concepts leave you, although it is your true state, you get frightened and try to cling to them again.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
All you need is to stop searching outside for what can be found only within. Set your vision right before you operate. You are suffering from acute misapprehension . Clarify your mind, purify your heart, sanctify your life - this is the quickest way to a change in your world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Knowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself, know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
When effort is needed, effort will appear. When effortlessness becomes essential, it will assert itself. You need not push life about. Just flow with it and give yourself completely to the task of the present moment.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Your burden is of false self-identifications—abandon them all.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Freedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.

Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of Yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. This is what I call nisarga yoga, the Natural yoga. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
