To find reality you must be real in the smallest daily action; there can be no deceit in the search for truth.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe legitimate function of the mind is to tell you what is not. But if you want positive knowledge, you must go beyond the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen I say 'I am', I do not mean a separate entity with a body as its nucleus, I mean the totality of being, the ocean of consciousness, the entire universe of all that is known. I have nothing to desire for I am complete forever
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThere are always moments when one feels empty and estranged.โจ Such moments are most desirable, โจfor it means the soul has cast its moorings and is sailing for distant places. โจThis is detachment -- โจwhen the old is over and the new has not yet come. โจIf you are afraid, the state may be distressing, โจbut there is really nothing to be afraid of. โจRemember the instruction: โจWhatever you come across -- go beyond.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
