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 MaharajStay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThere is no second, or higher self to search for. You are the highest self, only give up the false ideas you have about your self.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIt is just like your tape-recorder. It records, it reproduces - all by itself. You only listen. Similarly, I watch all that happens, including my talking to you. It is not me who talks, the words appear in my mind and then I hear them said.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
