Refuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally, without any interference on your part.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Abandon the false and you are free of pain truth makes happy, truth liberates.
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
Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
We miss the real by lack of attention, and create the unreal by excess of imagination.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Nobody ever fails in Yoga....It is slow in the beginning and rapid in the end. When one is fully matured, realization is explosive.
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
We grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
You are not the body. You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness.
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
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
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
All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.
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 no such thing as unconsciousness for it is not experienceable. We infer unconsciousness when there is a lapse in memory or communication.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
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
Image
How do you go about finding anything? By keeping your mind and heart on it. Interest there must be and steady remembrance. To remember what needs to be remembered is the secret of success. You come to it through earnestness
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
Between the banks of pleasure and pain flows the river of life. If you spend much time on either bank you will miss out on life.
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.
