Image
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?'

Whatever you come across- go beyond

Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
In my world love is the only law. I do not ask for love, I give it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don't disturb your mind with seeking.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
As long as the mind is there, your body and your world are there. Your world is mind-made, subjective, enclosed within the mind, fragmentary, temporary, personal, hanging on the thread of memory.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing 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
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 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.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
One who is afraid of time becomes a prey of time. But time itself becomes a prey of that one who is not afraid of it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The problem is not yours - it is your mind's only. Begin by disassociating yourself from your mind. Resolutely remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours.
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
