Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajI ask you what is the taste of your mouth all you can do is to say: it is neither sweet nor bitter, nor sour nor astringent; it is what remains when all these tastes are not. Similarly, when all distinctions and reactions are no more, what remains is reality, simple and solid.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThere is no such thing as a person. There are only restrictions and limitations. The sum total of these defines the person. The person merely appears to be, like the space within the pot appears to have the shape and volume and smell of the pot.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajStay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.
Sri Nisargadatta MaharajLearn to look without imagination, to listen without distortion: that is all. Stop attributing names and shapes to the essentially nameless and formless, realize that every mode of perception is subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched or smelled, felt or thought, expected or imagined, is in the mind and not in reality, and you will experience peace and freedom from fear.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
