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
The relinquishing of the lesser is the gaining of the greater. Give up all and you gain all.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The legitimate function of the mind is to tell you what is not. But if you want positive knowledge, you must go beyond the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The root of fear is the feeling of not being what you are.
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
Unless you know yourself, what else can you know?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
Give your real being a chance to shape your life. You will not regret it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
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
Forget the known, don't be all the time immersed in your experiences.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Abandon false ideas, that is all. There is no need of true ideas. There aren't any.
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
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
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. But first of all you must attend to the way you feel, think and live. Unless there is order in yourself, there can be no order in the world.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Devotion to your goal makes you live a clean and orderly life , given to search for truthand to helping people, and realization makes noble virtue easy and spontaneous, by removing for good the obstacles in the shape of desires and fears and wrong ideas .
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
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
You want to know yourself. For this keep steadily in the focus of consciousness, the only clue you have: your certainty of being. Be with it, play with it, ponder over it, delve deeply into it, till the shell of ignorance breaks open and you emerge into the realm of reality.
