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 MaharajYour own self is your ultimate teacher. The outer teacher is merely a milestone. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for he is the goal
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajUnless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the absolute nothingness of the self-image.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajLeave greatness to others. Become so small that no one can see you. This conviction results from growing devotion to the supreme reality.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
