Truth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others; all you get is truth and freedom from the false.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajWhen you desire the common good, the whole world desires with you. Make humanity's desire your own and work for it. There you cannot fail.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajGive up the idea of being a person, that is all. You need not become what you are anyhow. There is the identity of what you are and there is the person superimposed on it. All you know is the person, the identity - which is not a person - you do not know, for you never doubted, never asked yourself the crucial question: 'Who am I?'
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIf you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. Its your restlessness that causes chaos.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
