Peace

Peace is always present. Get rid of the disturbances to Peace. This Peace is the Self. The thoughts are the disturbances. When free from them, you are Infinite Intelligence, i.e., the Self. There is Perfection and Peace.


~ Sri Ramana Maharshi ~


Fear


When you seem to see some form of the original error rise to frighten you, say only,"God is not fear, but love," and it will disappear. ACIM

Video Game


The mind’s world is a world of virtual reality, and as much a creation as the video games that fascinate young people. It is not what is.

I Am


When I say: 'I am', I do not mean a separate entity with a body as its nucleus. I mean the totality of being, the ocean of consciousness, the entire universe of all that is and knows. I have nothing to desire for I am complete forever.
Nisargadatta

solitude

Solitude is in the mind of man. One might be in the thick of the world and maintain serenity of mind; such a one is in solitude. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi


Seer


The seer is the seen.

Wonder


We sweat & strain all our lives to do, to have and to be, when we are already all that is: Life Itself. Behold the wonder of your own Being!

john greer publis

suffering


You cannot think your way out of the suffering you are experiencing. The reason you are suffering is the “thinker” you identify with.

The Seed


As life is in the seed even though it is not apparent, the truth is deep within each of us, even in the most wayward among us.

Truth


There is a state beyond consciousness, which is not unconscious. It is awareness free from the subject-object nexus.

Life Itself


We sometimes feel like a page torn out of a novel - meaningless until the source is found. You are what you are seeking, Life itself.

I Am


I Am not who I think I Am.

Peace

To all appearances, Peace will look poor and quite weak. But in effect, it beats all. In tenacity and courage, it surpasses all. ~ Ellam Ondre

genius


There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will. The solution comes to you and you don't know how or why. ~ Einstein

comes and goes


Let come what comes and let go what goes. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

change


"When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl

suffering


Being eternity itself, Reality itself, how can you say, "I am suffering in this body?" ~ Papaji

improving others


Forgetting your Self is the greatest injury; all the calamities flow from it. Take care of the most important, the lesser will take care of itself. You do not tidy up a dark room. You open the windows first. Letting in the light makes everything easy. So, let us wait with improving others until we have seen ourselves as we are—and have changed. There is no need to turn round and round in endless questioning; find yourself and everything will fall into its proper place.

us


Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies.

nothing to do


There are no conditions to fulfill. There is nothing to be done, nothing to be given up. Just look and remember, whatever you perceive is not you, nor yours. It is there in the field of consciousness, but you are not the field and its contents, nor even the knower of the field. It is your idea that you have to do things that entangle you in the results of your efforts—the motive, the desire, the failure to achieve, the sense of frustration—all this holds you back. Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.
Nisargadatta

a play


We are like an actors who have forgotten that we are in a play. The script is written by life but we believe we are the role we are playing.

Consciousness


Consciousness is a temporary condition which has come upon the total, timeless, spaceless, changeless state. It is a happening which has come and which will disappear. Consciousness is time-bound, but the knower of the consciousness is eternal, the Absolute. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

You can't give what you don't have


When you have understood that all existence, in separation and limitation, is painful, and when you are willing and able to live integrally, in oneness with all life, as pure being, you have gone beyond all need of help. You can help another by precept and example and, above all, by your being. You cannot give what you do not have and you don't have what you are not. You can only give what you are—and of that you can give limitlessly.  Nisargadatta

Nisargadatta Wisdom


There is no power as separate from me. It is inherent in my very nature. Call it creativity. Out of a lump of gold you can make many ornaments—each will remain gold. Similarly, in whatever role I may appear and whatever function I may perform—I remain what I am: the 'I am' immovable, unshakable, independent. What you call the universe, nature, is my spontaneous creativity. Whatever happens—happens. But such is my nature that all ends in joy.

You


By day I praised you, and never knew it. By night I stayed with you, and never knew it. I always thought that I was me--but no, I was you and never knew it. - Rumi

dreams


I am beyond all dreams. I am the light in which all dreams appear and disappear. I am both inside and outside the dream.

Prayer


The highest prayer is: "Lord, give me Thyself that I may give Thee to all." ~ Paramhansa Yogananda

Save the World


What business have you with saving the world, when all the world needs is to be saved from you?

Fear


"Identify with fear & you will be a stranger to yourself...& thus you are unknown to you." -A Course in Miracles

Cause


Once you create for yourself a world in time and space, governed by causality, you are bound to search for and find causes for everything. You put the question and impose an answer. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

compassion


“My compassion is not for the individual, but for that beingness which has trapped itself into identifying with individuals,” Nisargadatta.

self improvement


Imprisonment is unchanged with new decorations in a jail cell, and the delusion of self isn’t remedied with self-improvement activities.
