True happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the Self and can be found in the Self only. Find your real Self and all else will come with it.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajYou have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajCooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBy all means attend to your duties. Action, in which you are not emotionally involved and which is beneficial and does not cause suffering will not bind you. You may be engaged in several directions and work with enormous zest, yet remain inwardly free and quiet, with a mirror like mind, which reflects all, without being affected.
