More quotes by 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
Until we can look at fear and accept it as the shadow of personal existence, as persons we are bound to be afraid.
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
Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action - here and now. It is your behavior that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect - whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
What you need will come to you if you do not ask for what you do not need.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The essence of saintliness is total acceptance of the present moment, harmony with things as they happen.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Everybody does the same mistake: refusing the means, but wanting the ends. You want peace and harmony in the world, but refuse to have them in yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting. It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious the deeper the joy. Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage and endurance - these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
As you watch your mind, you discover your self as the watcher. When you stand motionless, only watching, you discover your self as the light behind the watcher.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
All I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Steady faith is stronger than destiny. Destiny is the result of causes, mostly accidental, and is therefore loosely woven. Confidence and good hope will overcome it easily.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
It is just like your tape-recorder. It records, it reproduces - all by itself. You only listen. Similarly, I watch all that happens, including my talking to you. It is not me who talks, the words appear in my mind and then I hear them said.
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
These moments of inner quiet will burn out all obstacles without fail. Don't doubt its efficacy. Try it.
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
Even faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all, for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Life is love and love is life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
