Quote

Meditation will help you to find your bonds, loosen them, untie them and cast your moorings. When you are no longer attached to anything, you have done your share. The rest will be done for you.

Image
You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
By being with yourself, the 'I am', by watching yourself in your daily life with alert interest, with the intention to understand rather than judge, in full acceptance of whatever may emerge, because it is there, you encourage the deep to come to the surface, and enrich your life and consciousness with its captive energies.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Watch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic. People come and go you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Forget the known, don't be all the time immersed in your experiences.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You have never been, nor shall ever be, a person. Refuse to consider yourself as one. But as long as you do not even doubt yourself to be Mr. So-and-so, there is little hope. When you refuse to open your eyes, what can you be shown?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
Give your real being a chance to shape your life. You will not regret it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You are too much concerned with past and future. It is all due to your longing to continue, to protect yourself against extinction. And as you want to continue, you want others to keep you company, hence your concern with their survival. But what you call survival is but the survival of a dream.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The world does not yield to changing. By its very nature it is painful and transient. See it as it is and divest yourself of all desire and fear. When the world does not hold and bind you, it becomes an abode of joy and beauty. You can be happy in the world only when you are free of it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
You may die a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. Or, you may keep your body and die only in the mind. The death of the mind is the birth of wisdom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Freedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
True happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the Self and can be found in the Self only. Find your real Self and all else will come with it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
There is only life, there is nobody who lives a life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature to know that you need nothing to be happy, except Self-knowledge, is wisdom.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
All I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Abandon the false and you are free of pain truth makes happy, truth liberates.
