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 MaharajKnowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself, know yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen I look beyond the mind, I see the witness. Beyond the witness, there is infinite intensity of emptiness and silence.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajAll your desires, whatever they may be, are expressions of your longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou 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
