Nothing troubles me. I offer no resistance to trouble - therefore it does not stay with me. On your side there is so much trouble. On mine there is no trouble at all. Come to my side.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou need not know what you are. Enough to know what you are not. What you are you will never know, for every discovery reveals new dimensions to conquer. The unknown has no limits.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou want to know yourself. For this keep steadily in the focus of consciousness, the only clue you have: your certainty of being. Be with it, play with it, ponder over it, delve deeply into it, till the shell of ignorance breaks open and you emerge into the realm of reality.
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 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.
