Be conscious of yourself, watch your mind, give it your full attention. Don't look for quick results; there may be none within your noticing. Unknown to you, your psyche will undergo a change; there will be more clarity in your thinking, charity in your feeling, purity in your behavior. You need not aim at these - you will witness the change all the same. For, what you are now is the result of inattention and what you become will be the fruit of attention.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajSteady faith is stronger than destiny. Destiny is the result of causes, mostly accidental, and is therefore loosely woven. Confidence and good hope will overcome it easily.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajCooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajBeing oneself is completely beyond all motivation. You cannot be yourself for some reason. You are yourself, and no reason is needed.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajIt is your fixed idea that you must be something or other, that blinds you.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
