Whatever happens, happens to you by you, through you; you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.

-Nisargadatta Maharaj

[ndbookstudy]

“All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors. Your constant flight from pain and search for pleasure is a sign of love you bear for your self, all I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect. Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.”

"Liberation is not an acquisition but a matter of courage, the courage to believe that you are free already and to act on it.” - Nisargadatta Maharaj

[mountain-sage]

"All you need is to get rid of the tendency to define yourself."

Nisargadatta Maharaj

“[T]he desire for bliss creates pain. Thus bliss becomes the seed of pain. The entire universe of pain is born of desire. Give up the desire for pleasure and you will not even know what pain is.”

–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That

“Generally speaking, there are two ways: external and internal. Either you live with somebody who knows the Truth and submit yourself entirely to his guiding and moulding influence, or you seek the inner guide and follow the inner light wherever it takes you.” - Nisargadatta

[ixlander]

Once you know your mind & its miraculous powers, & remove what poisoned it—the idea of a separate & isolated person—you just leave it alone to do its work among things for which it is well suited. To keep the mind in its own place & on its own work is the liberation of the mind.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

[giripriya]

To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not

Discover all that you are not — body, feelings, thoughts, time, space, this or that — nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive.

The dearer you understand that on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realize that you are the limitless being.

. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj .

[tsultrimpawo]

The inner is the source of inspiration, the outer is moved by memory. The source is untraceable, while all memory begins somewhere. Thus the outer is always determined, while the inner cannot be held in words. The mistake of students consists in their imagining the inner to be something to get hold of, and forgetting that all perceivables are transient and, therefore, unreal. Only that which makes perception possible, call it Life or Brahman, or what you like, is real. — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj #Advaita #Satsang #Nisargadatta (at New Haven Zen Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2GiCTORdj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"To go beyond the mind, you must be silent and quiet. Peace and silence, silence and peace – this is the way beyond. "

-Nisargadatta Maharaj

[thecalminside]

You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it. In fact, demolition is easy, for the false dissolves when it is discovered.

nisargardatta, i am that, ch.96.

Q: Unless I am told what to do and how to do it, I feel lost.

M: By all means do feel lost! As long as you feel competent and confident, reality is beyond your reach. Unless you accept inner adventure as a way of life, discovery will not come to you.

Q: Discovery of what?

M: Of the centre of your being, which is free of all directions, all means and ends.

Q: Be all, know all, have all?

M: Be nothing, know nothing, have nothing. This is the only life worth living, the only happiness worth having.

Q: I may admit that the goal is beyond my comprehension. Let me know the way at least.

M: You must find your own way. Unless you find it yourself it will not be your own way and will take you nowhere. Earnestly live your truth as you have found it -- act on the little you have understood. It is earnestness that will take you through, not cleverness -- your own or another's.

Q: I am afraid of mistakes. So many things I tried -- nothing came out of them.

M: You gave too little of yourself, you were merely curious, not earnest.

Q: I don't know any better.

M: At least that much you know. Knowing them to be superficial, give no value to your experiences, forget them as soon as they are over. Live a clean, selfless life, that is all.

Q: Is morality so important?

M: Don't cheat, don't hurt -- is it not important? Above all you need inner peace -- which demands harmony between the inner and the outer. Do what you believe in and believe in what you do. All else is a waste of energy and time.

"Know yourself to be the changeless witness of the changeful mind.

That is enough."
