In nature nothing is at standstill, everything pulsates, appears and disappears. Heart, breath, digestion, sleep and waking - birth and death - everything comes and goes in waves. Rhythm, periodicity, harmonious alternation of extremes is the rule. No use rebelling against the very pattern of life.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe world has only as much power over you as you give it. Rebel. Go beyond duality.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajDo what you believe in and believe in what you do. The rest is a waste of time and energy.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajAll you want is to be happy. All your desires, whatever they may be, are longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well...desire by itself is not wrong. It is life itself, the urge to grow in knowledge and experience. It is choices you make that are wrong. To imagine that some little thing-food, sex, power, fame-will make you happy is to decieve oneself. Only something as vast and deep as your real self can make you truly and lastingly happy.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajI am timeless being. I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past or imagine the future.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe moment you know your real being, you are afraid of nothing. Death gives freedom and power. To be free in the world, you must die to the world. Then the universe is your own, it becomes your body, an expression and a tool. The happiness of being absolutely free is beyond description.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
