Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what it is that you have never lost.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe legitimate function of the mind is to tell you what is not. But if you want positive knowledge, you must go beyond the mind.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajDo you realize the unimaginable greatness, the holiness of what you so casually call 'consciousness'? It is the unmanifest Absolute aware of its awareness through the manifestation, of which your mind-body is presently a part.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajForgetting your Self is the greatest injury; all the calamities flow from it. Take care of the most important, the lesser will take care of itself. You do not tidy up a dark room. You open the windows first. Letting in the light makes everything easy. So, let us wait with improving others until we see ourselves as we are/ and have changed. There is no need to turn round and round in endless questioning; find yourself and everything will fall into its proper place.
