In the mirror of your mind all kinds of pictures appear and disappear. Knowing that they are entirely your own creations, watch them silently come and go. Be alert, but not perturbed. This attitude of silent observation is the very foundation of yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou can become a night watchman and live happily. It is what you are inwardly that matters. Your inner peace and joy you have to earn. It is much more difficult than earning money. No university can teach you to be yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWould people know that nothing can happen unless the entire universe makes it happen, they would achieve much more with less expenditure of energy.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBelieve me, there is no goal, nor a way to reach it. You are the way and the goal, there is nothing else to reach except yourself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.
