The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe only thing required of you is to allow all your raging desires to relax into preferences. Then everything will be done through you and for you, not by you.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajMeet you own self. Be with your own self, listen to it, obey it, cherish it, keep it in mind ceaselessly. You need no other guide.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and you have imprisoned yourself in it. Break the spell and be free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
