In the light of consciousness all sorts of things happen and one need not give special importance to any. The sight of a flower is as marvelous as the vision of God. Let them be. Why remember them and then make memory into a problem? Be bland about them; do not divide them into high and low, inner and outer, lasting and transient. Go beyond, go back to the source, go to the self that is the same whatever happens.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajDo not neglect this body. This is the house of God; take care of it, only in this body can God be realized.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajKnow yourself to be the changeless witness of the changeful mind. That is enough.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIt is the mind that tells you that the mind is there. Don't be deceived. All the endless arguments about the mind are produced by the mind itself, for its own protection, continuation and expansion. It is the blank refusal to consider the convolutions and convulsions of the mind that can take you beyond it.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhatever can be understood or perceived can never be the eternal Truth. The Unknown is the Truth.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBy all means attend to your duties. Action, in which you are not emotionally involved and which is beneficial and does not cause suffering will not bind you. You may be engaged in several directions and work with enormous zest, yet remain inwardly free and quiet, with a mirror like mind, which reflects all, without being affected.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
