When you believe yourself to be a person, you see persons everywhere. In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realisation the person ceases.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajOne who is afraid of time becomes a prey of time. But time itself becomes a prey of that one who is not afraid of it.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe desire for truth is the highest of all desires, yet, it is still a desire. All desires must be given up for the real to be.....When all search ceases, it is the Supreme State.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIt has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts. When you happen to walk in a crowd, you do not fight every man you meet, you just find your way between. When you fight, you invite a fight. But when you do not resist, you meet no resistance. When you refuse to play the game, you are out of it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
