338 Quotes by Nisargadatta Maharaj

In reality there are no others, and -helping yourself you help everybody else.

Know yourself to be the changeless witness of the changeful mind. That is enough.

Steady 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.

Discard every self-seeking motive as soon as it is seen, and you need not search for truth; truth will find you...

When you go deep inside nothing is all there is. There is no ‘I am’. The ‘I am’ merges in the Absolute.

Inquire, investigate, doubt yourself and others. To find truth, you must not cling to your convictions; if you are sure of the immediate, you will never reach the ultimate. Your idea that you were born and that you will die is absurd – both logic and experience contradict it.

Laugh with people laughing, cry with people crying, but don’t fall into the river of world illusion. Stay on the banks.

The old grooves must be erased in your brain, without forming new ones. You must realize yourself as the immovable, behind and beyond the movable, the silent witness of all that happens.

Deepen and broaden your awareness of yourself and all the blessings will flow. You need not seek anything, all will come to you most naturally and effortlessly.
