"Você é sempre o Supremo. Mas a sua atenção está fixada em coisas, físicas ou mentais. Quando a sua atenção está fora de uma coisa e ainda não fixada em outra, no intervalo, você é puro ser." #NisargadattaMaharaj #SriNisargadatta #ExpansãoDaConsciência #Autoconhecimento #Espiritualidade #Filosofia #LeiDaAtração #Consciência #Autoinvestigação #AtrativaMente #Annaíz

همیشه این نادرست است که باعث رنج شما می شود، آرزوها و ترس های غلط ، ارزش ها و ایده های نادرست، روابط نادرست و غلط بین مردم. را رها کن و از درد رها می شوی. حقیقت شاد می کند، حقیقت رهایی می بخشد. سری نیسارگادتا ماهاراج #نیسارگاداتا_ماهاراج #نیسارگاداتاماهاراج It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.

"O corpo e a mente são limitados e, portanto, vulneráveis; eles precisam de proteção, o que dá origem ao medo. Enquanto você se identificar com eles você está destinado a sofrer, perceba a sua independência e permaneça feliz. Eu digo-vos, este é o segredo da felicidade. Acreditar que você depende de coisas e pessoas para a felicidade é devido à ignorância de sua verdadeira natureza, saber que você não precisa de nada para ser feliz, exceto autoconhecimento, é sabedoria." #nisargadattamaharaj "The body and the mind are limited and therefore vulnerable; they need protection which gives rise to fear. As long as you identify yourself with them you are bound to suffer; realise your independence and remain happy. I tell you, this is the secret of happiness. To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature; to know that you need nothing to be happy, except self-knowledge, is wisdom." #nisargadatta #SriNisargadatta

You are dreamer too. We differ only in the contents of our dreams. You are after perfection in the future. I am intent on finding it in the now. The limited only is perfectible. The unlimited is already perfect. You are perfect, only you don't know it. Learn to know yourself and you will discover wonders. Nisargadatta THE INGRAINED IGNORANCE, ... OF THE ARROGANT MIND "Even in The Sublime State, The mind refuses to believe, ... It is a 'non-entity'." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ BUBBLES IN CONSCIOUSNESS ! "The pure mind sees things as they are: 'Bubbles In Consciousness'. These bubbles are appearing - disappearing, and re-appearing - without having 'Real Being'. No particular cause can be ascribed to them, for each is caused by ALL - and affects ALL! Each bubble, is a body, And all these bodies, are Mine!” ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ Desireless — Fearless "Want the best — the highest happiness, the greatest freedom. Desirelessness is the highest bliss." "Desires are just waves in the mind. You know a wave when you see one. A desire is just a thing among many. I feel no urge to satisfy it, no action needs be taken on it. Freedom from desire means this: the compulsion to satisfy is absent." Freedom from all desire is eternity. All attachment implies fear, for all things are transient. And fear makes one a slave. This freedom from attachment does not come with practice; it is natural when one knows one's true being. Love does not cling; clinging is not love. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

Having never left the house you are asking for the way home. Get rid of wrong ideas, that is all. Collecting right ideas also will take you nowhere. Just cease imagining. Don't try to understand! Enough if you do not misunderstand. Don't rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage. Go beyond it altogether. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj In the mirror of your mind, says Maharaj, all kinds of pictures will appear, stay for a while and disappear. Silently watch them come and go. Be alert, but not attracted or repelled. It is important not to be involved. This attitude of silent witnessing will have the effect, gradually, of driving away all useless thoughts, like unwanted guests that are ignored. By being thus within yourself, that is, in the 'I-am-ness', by watching the flow of mind, without interfering or judging, as a dispassionate witness, the 'deep' unknown will be encouraged to come to the surface of consciousness and release its unused energies to enable you to understand the mystery of the origin of life. “ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj BEING COMPLETELY EMPTY ! Nisargadatta Maharaj: After all, the ultimate purpose of all 'sadhana' is to reach a point, when this conviction - instead of being only verbal, is based on the actual and ever-present experience. Questioner: Which experience? Nisargadatta Maharaj: The experience of being Empty - uncluttered by memories and expectations; it is like The Happiness Of Open Spaces, of being young, of having all the time and energy for doing things, for discovery, for adventure. Questioner: What remains to discover? Nisargadatta Maharaj: The Universe 'without' and The Immensity 'within', as they are in Reality - in the Great Mind and Heart Of God. The meaning and purpose of existence, the secret of suffering, and life's redemption from ignorance. #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #srinisargadattamaharaj

Q: What is right and what is wrong varies with habit and custom. Standards vary with societies. Maharaj: Discard all traditional standards. Leave them to the hypocrites. Only what liberates you from desire, fear and wrong ideas is good. As long as you worry about sin and virtue you will have no peace. 🪷 — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ♨️ The Light of Truth The gospel of Self Realization, once heard, will never be forgotten. Like a seed left in the ground it will wait for the right season and sprout and grow into a mighty tree. Do understand that you are destined for enlightenment. Cooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don’t thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself. Once you say, "I want to find Truth," all your life will be deeply affected by it. All your mental and physical habits, feelings and emotions, desires and fears, plans and decisions will undergo a most radical transformation. If you are earnest, whatever way you choose will take you to your goal. It is the earnestness that is the decisive factor. Earnestness is the homing instinct which makes the bird return to its nest and the fish to the mountain stream where it was born. The seed returns to the earth when the fruit is ripe.

Today Sunday 16 April 2023 we celebrate Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj's 126th Jayanti (birthday) . Jai Guru! Happy birthday to dear Maharaj 💕💕💕 So clear and crisp, simple and direct Sidhi baat no bakwas 💕💕💕 THE INFINITE BUBBLES IN CONSCIOUSNESS, ... ALL RISE AND FALL IN 'ME'! ✨⚫✨ "The pure mind sees things as they are: bubbles in consciousness. These bubbles are appearing, disappearing, and re-appearing, without having Real Being. No particular cause can be ascribed to them, for each is caused by all, and affects all. Each bubble is a body, and all these bodies are mine." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ GET FIRMLY ESTABLISHED, ... IN THE 'I AM' ! "Establish yourself firmly in the Awareness of ‘I AM’. This is the beginning - and also the end, of all endeavour." ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ (Thank you, Ramesh Kajale) SPIRITUALITY IS AS DISCARDABLE, ... AS DIRTY DISHWATER “I do not believe in 'Spirituality'; Spirituality is as discardable as 'dishwater'. I am 'Nothing', and even the word 'Nothing', has no meaning!” ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ DO NOT GET LOST INSIDE OF: THE IMAGINARY POWER OF THE MIND ! "Without imagination, there is no world. The moment you allow your imagination to spin, it at once spins out a universe. It is not at all as you imagine, and I am not bound by your imaginings. The intelligence and power are all used up, in your imagination. It has absorbed you so completely, that you just cannot grasp how far from Reality you have wandered. No doubt; imagination is richly creative. Universe upon universe are built on it. Yet - they are all in space and time; past and future, which just do not exist. I am offering you exactly what you need - 'An Awakening'! Engrossed in a dream, you have forgotten your True Self."

THERE IS NO 'INDIVIDUAL DOER', ... IT IS ALL ONE UNIFIED SPONTANEITY ! "There's no-one on this earth doing anything; the whole universe is a 'puppet show'! We're dancing the dance of Shiva! ⚫ 🕺💃 We think we're something important. But we're really nothing as we appear! Your job is 'To Observe' - 'To Watch', to see what's going on, and not to react to anything that is happening; but to stay separate from the happenings - to separate yourself from what is happening. <-- What's happening, is happening to the 'i' - to 'the ego', but not to 'YOU'. Nothing can ever happen to 'YOU' ! For your True Nature is Brahman, Absolute Reality, Pure Awareness: 'THIS' is what 'You', Really ARE, whether you like it or not! Yes, you are God - whether you like it or not! Whether you care, or you don't - you are God. So, what are you going to do about it? All you really have to do is to 'Know' who 'YOU' ARE - to know your 'Self'! ... Not 'intellectually' - not 'physically'; but 'Consciously'! When you see yourSelf - consciously as God, you will see the whole universe as your 'Self ! Everything in this whole universe, will become 'YOU'. There will be no separation between 'YOU', and your fellow man; or the animals, or and the minerals and the flowers,! ... 'IT' will all be 'ONE'! They will be 'YOU'! 'YOU' ARE 'THAT'!" ~ Robert Adams ~ (Thank you, Houry Shaghoyan) TURN WITHIN! "Nisargadatta Maharaj: As long as you are engrossed in the world, you are unable to know yourself: to know yourself, turn away your attention from the world and turn it within. Questioner: I cannot destroy the world. Nisargadatta Maharaj: There is no need. Just understand that what you see is not what is. Appearances will dissolve on investigation and the underlying reality will come to the surface. You need not burn the house to get out of it. You just walk out. It is only when you cannot come and go freely that the house becomes a jail. I move in and out of consciousness easily and naturally and therefore to me the world is a home, not a prison." ~ from 'I Am That', chapter 92 ~ #nisargadattamaharaj #Nisargadatta #srinisargadatta

Quando o corpo nasce, todo o tipo de coisas acontecem a ele, e você toma parte disso porque você se considera o corpo. Você é como o homem no cinema, rindo e chorando com a imagem, embora sabendo muito bem que está o tempo todo em seu assento, e a imagem nada mais é do que um jogo de luz. É o suficiente desviar a atenção da tela para si mesmo para quebrar o feitiço. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj #srinisargadatta #alanterna

Don't pretend to be what you are not; don't refuse to be what you are. — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj 🕉 Q: What is the value of spiritual books? Maharaj: They help in dispelling ignorance. They are useful in the beginning, but become a hindrance in the end. One must know when to discard them.🪷 Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj There are no others to help. A rich man, when he hands over his entire fortune to his family, has not a coin left to give a beggar. So is the wise man (jnani) stripped of all his powers and possessions. Nothing, literally nothing, can be said about him. He cannot help anybody for he is everybody. He is the poor and also his poverty, the thief and also his thievery. How can he be said to help, when he is not apart? Who thinks of himself as separate from the world, let him help the world. -Nisargadatta Maharaj, I AM THAT ch 27 “As long as we imagine ourselves to be separate personalities, one quite apart from another, we cannot grasp reality which is essentially impersonal. First we must know ourselves as witnesses only, dimensionless and timeless centres of observation, and then realize that immense ocean of pure awareness, which is both mind and matter and beyond both.” — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj When the body idea becomes obsessive, is it not altogether wrong? "There is nothing wrong in the idea of a body, nor even in the idea 'I am the body'. But limiting oneself to one body only is a mistake. In reality all existence, every form, is my own, within my consciousness. I cannot tell what I am, because words can describe only what I am not. I am, and because I am, all is. But I am beyond consciousness and, therefore, in consciousness I cannot say what I am. Yet I am. The question 'Who am I' has no answer. No experience can answer it, for the self is beyond experience. "The question 'Who am I' has no answer in consciousness and, therefore, helps to go beyond consciousness. "The self is the source of all, and of all - the final destination. Nothing is external."

The name given to the body is not your name. What are you beyond the body and its name? For a moment, see that you are without the body and its name.’ This is termed ‘waiting at the doorstep of God for a moment’. Say what you are without considering the body and its name. Look at yourself without the body and its name. Understand this point and you understand everything. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am Not the Body: Discovering the Truth Beyond Bondage #srinisargadattamaharaj #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #iamthat #nisargadattamaharajquotes #teachings #yoga #wisdom #spirituality #meditation #knowledge #wise #indianspirituality #spiritualindia #spiritualwisdom

I claim nothing as my own. When the 'I' is not, where is the 'mine'?. NISARGADATTA I FOUND MYSELF ! "I found myself without desires, and without knowledge. There was nothing left but Love, the state of witness was left behind; there was only Love, all pervading, all embracing, absolute. There were no crucial experiences, no soul-shattering visions. I just ceased imagining myself to be what I never was, and there was nothing to replace the unreal with. There was no need to look for replacements - The Nothingness was The Fullness of Understanding, Love, and Silent Peace." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ Q: What is right and what is wrong varies with habit and custom. Standards vary with societies. Maharaj: Discard all traditional standards. Leave them to the hypocrites. Only what liberates you from desire, fear and wrong ideas is good.

A sketch done in Tiruvannamalai while integrating the following text by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: “The sound of mantra creates the shape which will embody the Self. The Self can embody any shape — and operate through it. After all, the Self is expressing itself in action — and a mantra is primarily energy in action. It acts on you, it acts on your surroundings.” It is impossible to think of mantras without colours, without light. Chanting mantras always has an effect of coming home for me. They bring me back into my body and from there open my heart. So grateful to live in a city where Kirtan and Bhakti yoga gatherings are plentiful and wonderful. 🙏🏼✨🕉️✨🙏🏼 #mantra #mantrasbarcelona #bhakti #bhaktiyoga #srinisargadatta #iamthat #neverstopsinging #traveljournal #watercolour #kirtan #chantingmantras #om

I see what you too could see, here and now, but for the wrong focus of your attention. You give no attention to your Self. Your mind is all with things, people and ideas, never with your Self. Bring your Self into focus, become aware of your own existence.

Suffering is exclusively the result of attachment or resistance, it is a sign of lacking the readiness to go on, to flow with life. ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Questioner: What is the use of the manifested world then? Maharaj: There is no question of use or no use. That is the nature of consciousness, in which the world appears. The world has a use for one who considers himself the body. Through your senses the world appears to be real, but it is only temporary, for a short duration. It is just like a sickness, when you are feeling sick. It's the sickness of that illusion, Maya. Questioner: We are incarnated in a body; then how can we not be the body? Maharaj: If you consider yourself to be a body, you have more to lose than to gain. If you don't consider yourself the body, then what can you say you are? Questioner: But if you cut my leg I scream. [Maharaj bangs the ashtray on the metal container, which produces a loud PING.) Maharaj: Look, this also feels the pain, it is shouting also -now it is quiet! You are wrongly identifying yourself with the body. You are not that. It is for you to realize it. Questioner: There are sometimes glimpses, when I don't feel the body, and there is no time-it is timeless. Maharaj: Right. Although most of the time you are identifying with the body, if even for a short while you feel you are not the body, that's enough. Out of ignorance the knowledge "I Am" comes into being; and into ignorance, where it doesn't know itself, it will dissolve again. After understanding this you can go, and whatever you do doesn't matter; it's all God's doing. You are not the doer anymore, you never were. When the television set is burned or destroyed, will the people in the movie feel the pain and die? You have no form, no shape, you are like the sky. The vital breath which you take in -will it feel any pain when you die? It will just merge into the air again, as it was before. But just to sit here and listen will not do. You have to meditate. - Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Seeds of Consciousness. #Nisargadatta #NisargadattaMaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization

Ignore the mind the way you disregard the crowd you encounter in the streets. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj _ #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharajquotes #nisargadattamaharaj #vedantaphilosophy

Earnestness, not perfection, is a precondition to Self-realization. Virtues and powers come with realization, not before. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. N. Maharaj: " I don't talk on scriptures or try to help you conduct your family life. I only talk about That which is listening now. If you see and know what you are. you will remain untouched by happiness and unhappiness. Whatever you may do in this world, it will all remain incomplete. It is because all experiences are incomplete. One who sees oneself completely sees all worldly activities like laughing, crying, or displeasure, as mental modifications which happen spontaneously. Birth denotes the appearance of Consciousness, which is the quality of Sattva, or food juices. It is the beginning of trouble, which was absent prior to birth, One may progress as much as one likes using Consciousness; it is all going to vanish. Even the great Krishna had to drop Consciousness one day. You love Consciousness but it is difficult to tolerate it. All your activities are only meant to tolerate it. Sage Jnaneshwar took Maha Samadhi when He was only twenty-one years old and ended all the trouble. Consciousness manifests in various forms as per your choice, belief, and worship. It is like the Kohinoor diamond, but time-bound. Krishna declared that He was everything and His greatness was recognised by almost all the Rishis and Munis of those days. Even then He had to drop his body one day. We come to know our existence unknowingly. Is it full of joy or misery? We always see people filled with worries. There is worry about children and grandchildren. There is worry about their welfare. Just as there is a descent of milk into the udder of a cow from maternal yearnings, a Sage utters words of sympathy and guidance for the benefit of the suffering people. It may be possible for you to get full information and knowledge about even rare pearls and diamonds, but it is very difficult to get acquainted with the primary illusion. Only a rare one amongst millions of people can be a helpful guide to knowing Maya. " #nisargadatta #NisargadattaMaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi

To be without anxiety is the highest sadhana You should know that whatever happens is beneficial, and you should not worry.

Silence is the main factor. In peace and silence, you grow. In peace and silence, the skin of the 'I' dissolves, and the inner and the outer become one.

The meaning and purpose of existence, the secret of suffering, and life's redemption from ignorance. #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #nisargadatta #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #selfrealisation #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #satori #mysticism #meditation #bliss

Q: What is right and what is wrong varies with habit and custom. Standards vary with societies. Maharaj: Discard all traditional standards. Leave them to the hypocrites. Only what liberates you from desire, fear and wrong ideas is good. As long as you worry about sin and virtue you will have no peace. 🪷 — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ♨️ The Light of Truth The gospel of Self Realization, once heard, will never be forgotten. Like a seed left in the ground it will wait for the right season and sprout and grow into a mighty tree. Do understand that you are destined for enlightenment. Cooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don’t thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself. Once you say, "I want to find Truth," all your life will be deeply affected by it. All your mental and physical habits, feelings and emotions, desires and fears, plans and decisions will undergo a most radical transformation. If you are earnest, whatever way you choose will take you to your goal. It is the earnestness that is the decisive factor. Earnestness is the homing instinct which makes the bird return to its nest and the fish to the mountain stream where it was born. The seed returns to the earth when the fruit is ripe.

"As he (the gnani) gets older he grows more and more happy and peaceful. After all, he is going home. Like a traveller nearing his destination and collecting his luggage, he leaves the train without regret. (…) The mist of bodily existence is lifting – the burden of the body is growing less from day to day. (…) Every sensation is contemplated in perfect equanimity. There is no desire for it, nor refusal. It is as it is and he looks at it with a smile of affectionate detachment. (…) He is alone, but he is all. He is not even a being. He is the beingness of all beings. (…)." - Nisargadatta Maharaj Q: I am afraid of my own mind. It is so unsteady! NM: In the mirror of your mind images appear and disappear. The mirror remains. Learn to distinguish the immovable in the movable, the unchanging in the changing, till you realize that all differences are in appearance only and oneness is a fact. This basic identity – you may call God, or Brahman, or the matrix, the words matters little – is only the realization that all is one. —- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj N. Maharaj: " Praise Parabrahman by offering Him your identity. The one who meets Parabrahman becomes Parabrahman. Knowing God is to become God. It is to completely abandon the notion of being anything other than God. A true seeker of Parabrahman surrenders his identity to God and he becomes the same as God, by seeing his true nature. He develops the certainty of being the Self. Such a one goes beyond remembering or forgetting the Self. Everything else is dropped. Due to the mischief of our minds, we visualise and experience the misery or birth in this world. The body, the world outside, and the life experience are mere appearances that do not exist in reality. What exists in Reality is our true nature. You cognise and feel the One within yourselves. It is that whom we wanted to meet and beg for grace. His existence becomes yours, and yours His. When you surrender yourself totally to God, you succeed, because this is the biggest surrender that can be made. Cognition of one's true existence is God and nothing else. " #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #srinisargadattamaharaj

N. Maharaj: " There is no trace of ego or the sense of being in a person who has cognised his own true nature. Such a person has recognised his oneness with all living beings- moveable and immovable. He, or she, knows that Consciousness is the substratum. The nature of this knowingness or the sense of being is such that one cannot hold on to it indefinitely or renounce it when one desires. When the body identification goes, along with the desires, what remains is pure knowingness. The process of waking up from deep sleep and going back to it is spontaneous and needs no effort- physical or intellectual. Just as the sense of being rises from the Self, when this knowingness is gone, one's Swaroopa or one's true nature continues to exist. Even when Knowingngess contains everything, it still intrinsically does not experience any feeling of pleasure or pain. However, only when this Knowingness assumes the role of an entity or a conscious living person, it experiences pleasure and pain. The one who knows his Consciousness does not identify with the person that he is supposed to be. On the other hand, the Knower of Consciousness is beyond the feelings of pleasure and pain. Such a knower witnesses everything without any desire or effort. Whatever we can witness doesn't remain and it vanishes in due course. You can call him a Sadguru or the one who does not need this Knowingness. The Knower of Knowingness remains unknown to Knowingness. In Knowingngess the world along with our body appears. With the experience of a body, experiences of pleasure and pain happen. A Jnani has no experience of entering into or coming out of Samadhi. His true nature is not aware of itself. He is in a state called Vijnana, that which is beyond all. It is called Teertha or the revered one. That may be the reason why we address our parents as Teertharoop. Similarly, the father's brother is addressed as Teerthat Swaroop. The Lord's names Keshav and Vaman are holy and they are worshipped. In the absence of the germination of food juices, the Absolute which is totally free and complete prevails. " #NisargadattaMaharaj #nisargadatta # #srinisargadattamaharaj # #srinisargadatta

El buscador es quien está a la búsqueda de sí mismo. Abandone todas las preguntas excepto una: “¿Quién soy yo?”. A fin de cuentas, el único hecho del cual puede usted estar seguro es que usted ES. El “yo soy” es cierto. El “yo soy esto” no lo es. Esfuércese por descubrir quién es usted en realidad. Pero para saber lo que usted es, antes debe investigar y saber lo que no es. Descubra todo lo que usted no es: el cuerpo, los sentimientos, los pensamientos, el tiempo, el espacio, esto o aquello. Nada, concreto o abstracto que usted pueda percibir, puede ser usted. El propio hecho de percibirlo muestra que usted no es eso que percibe. Cuanto más claramente vea que en el nivel de la mente usted tan solo puede ser descrito en términos negativos, antes llegará al final de su búsqueda y antes comprenderá que usted es el SER ILIMITADO. -Conversaciones con Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj #reconectamujer #yosoyeso #srinisargadatta #verdad #god #godblessyou #loveyourself #true #divine #divinity

"Se você está com raiva ou dor, separe-se da raiva e da dor e observe-os. Exteriorização é o primeiro passo para a libertação. Afaste-se e olhe. Os eventos físicos continuarão acontecendo, mas por si mesmos eles não têm nenhuma importância." #nisargadattamaharaj #nisargadatta "If you are angry or in pain, separate yourself from anger and pain and watch them. Externalisation is the first step to liberation. Step away and look. The physical events will go on happening, but by themselves they have no importance." #SriNisargadatta

We are that foundation on which all experience takes place. Paramatman does not get dissolved. All experiences have a beginning and ending. That Consciousness which is the subtle awareness of the beginning and ending of experiences, is called the Self, or Atman, and that background on which all experience takes place is called Paramatman. That which remains after experience is over is the Supreme Self, Paramatman, which exists before the experience begins, and after the experience has ended. That "root of all" is not destructible. - Siddharameshwar Maharaj 🙏 _ #siddharameshwarmaharaj #siddharameshwarmaharajquotes #nisargadattamaharajquotes #nisargadatta #srinisargadattamaharaj #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #advaitavedanta #advaita #vedantaphilosophy #ranjitmaharaj #ramakantmaharaj #rameshbalsekar

Q: What do you mean by stabilizing in the Self? Nisargadatta Maharaj: How does a man get to be a man? He just is. You see that you are not the body, that you are not the mind. You have nothing to do with any of it. You stay in the witness only. This also means that you don't have likes and dislikes, not want things to happen or not happen in a certain way. A practical wise man should have nothing to do with spiritual things. At first it has to be done this way and then you see that you are the Self! _ #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharajquotes #srinisargadatta #srinisargadattamaharaj #iamthat #siddharameshwarmaharaj #nisargadattamaharaj #ranjitmaharaj #ramakantmaharaj #rameshbalsekar #vedantaphilosophy #advaitavedanta #advaita #selfrealization #selfrealisation

It has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts.

Swipe Left ⬅️ You must stop insisting that good alone should happen to this body. You have become the gross body because only one body is the object of your concept. Servants and the attendants should be considered as God. There is no other Reality with or without quality. All is Govinda [God]. Because we categorise all objects, there is the ego. You perceive the wife as wife, the daughter as daughter, the horse as horse and the dog as dog. They are all Reality only. There is no need to change the form of the objects. Only the attitude of the seer must change. Reality is the same even when it is in a state with attributes. You should see Reality in whatever state He exists. Even the atoms and molecules of a chair are all Lord Krishna [Reality]. Once this attitude is taken, then you yourself are Reality. Even though one sleeps, awakens, or goes about, one has not slept, awakened, gone about or taken a meal. When all is Reality who is eating and sleeping? The one who is without quality and the one with quality who is speaking are both God. Whether a king is sitting on the throne or hunting, he is always a king. The one who is walking and talking is the idol of consciousness. One is a devotee when one gives names to different objects as well as to himself or herself and is a saint, or the Supreme Self [Paramatman], when one looks upon the creation as Supreme Reality [Parabrahman]. To forget the Supreme Self while eating food is just turning the food into faeces. The silkworms are better, as the silk wear made from their cocoons are used by priests while worshipping God. - Siddharameshwar Maharaj 🙏 _ #siddharameshwarmaharaj #siddharameshwarmaharajquotes #nisargadattamaharajquotes #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #ranjitmaharaj #ramakantmaharaj #rameshbalsekar #advaita #advaitavedanta #vedantaphilosophy #nondualism #nondualityquotes #nonduality #nondual #nondualquotes #nondualmind

🟧 Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) fou un mestre espiritual indi que va ser reconegut mundialment per les seves ensenyances sobre l'advaita vedanta. Va néixer a Mumbai (llavors coneguda com a Bombay) en una família no gaire aferrada a les pràctiques religioses. Va treballar com a comerciant de cigarrers durant gran part de la seva vida. Va estar casat i va tenir dos fills. La seva vida espiritual va canviar de manera dràstica quan, al cap de 34 anys, va conèixer el seu mestre espiritual, Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj. A través de la seva guia, va arribar a un profund estat de meditació i comprensió de la veritat última, el qual ell anomenava "jo soc". Després de la mort del seu mestre espiritual, Nisargadatta Maharaj va exercir com a mestre en solitari al petit loft de la seva casa a Bombay. La seva simplicitat i franquesa van fer que molts buscadors dins de l'espiritualitat es sentissin atrets per les seves ensenyances. Entre els seus alumnes més famosos es troben el també mestre espiritual Ramesh Balsekar i l'escriptor Maurice Frydman. Nisargadatta Maharaj no va escriure cap llibre durant la seva vida, però les seves converses amb els seus alumnes es van enregistrar en diversos llibres que van ser publicats després de la seva mort. El llibre més conegut és "Yo soy eso" (I am That en anglès), el qual recull diàlegs que van tenir lloc entre el mestre i els seus seguidors. L'ensenyament de Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj es basava en la idea que la nostra identitat és pura consciència i que el món material és una il·lusió sense substància real. Insistia en la importància de l'autoreflexió i l'autoindagació per arribar a la comprensió profunda del nostre veritable ésser. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj va morir el 8 de setembre de 1981, però les seves ensenyances continuen tenint una gran influència en els cercadors espirituals de tot el món. ◽️◽️◽️ #SriNisargadatta #ff9_SriNisargadatta #aforisme #aforismes #aforismo #aforismos #quotes #frases #pensaments #filosofia #cultura #saviesa #creixementpersonal #autoajuda #autoayuda #catalan #catala #fideuet.filo

If you know you are not the mind, then what difference does it make if it's busy or quiet?

Understand first that you are not the person you believe yourself to be. What you think yourself to be is mere suggestion or imagination. You have no parents, you were not born, nor will you die. Either trust me when I tell you so, or arrive to it by study and investigation. The way of total faith is quick, the other is slow but steady. Both must be tested in action. Act on what you think is true -- this is the way to truth. Words are made by the mind and are meaningful only on the level of the mind. The word 'bread':neither can you eat nor live by it; it merely conveys an idea. It acquires meaning only with the actual eating. In the same sense am I telling you that the Normal State is not verbal. I may say it is wise love expressed in action, but these words convey little, unless you experience them in their fullness and beauty. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj _ #srinisargadattamaharaj #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #nisargadattamaharajquotes #srinisargadatta #siddharameshwarmaharaj #siddharameshwarmaharajquotes #spiritualword #vedantaphilosophy_

Reality is not the result of a process; it is an explosion. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #iamthat #nisargadattamaharajquotes #teachings #yoga #wisdom #spirituality #meditation #knowledge #wise #indianspirituality #spiritualindia #spiritualwisdom

As long as you are interested in your present way of living, you will not abandon it. Discovery cannot come as long as you cling to the familiar. It is only when you realise fully the immense sorrow of your life and revolt against it, that a way out can be found. As long as you have all sorts of ideas about yourself, you know yourself through the mist of these ideas; to know yourself as you are, give up all ideas. You cannot imagine the taste of pure water, you can only discover it by abandoning all flavourings. Nisargadatta, I Am That, Chapter 98 Q: My mind is weak and vacillating. I have neither the strength nor the tenacity for sadhana. My case, is hopeless. M: In a way yours is a most hopeful case. There is an alternative to sadhana, which is trust. If you cannot have the conviction born from fruitful search, then take advantage of my discovery, which I am so eager to share with you. I can see with the utmost clarity that you have never been, nor are, nor will be estranged from realty, that you are the fullness of perfection here and now and that nothing can deprive you of your heritage, of what you are. You are in no way different from me, only you do not know it. You do not know what you are and therefore you imagine your self to be what you are not. Hence desires and fear and overwhelming despair. And meaningless activity in order to escape. Just trust me and live by trusting me. I shall not mislead you. You are the Supreme Reality beyond the world and its creator, beyond consciousness and its witness, beyond all assertions and denials. Remember it, think of it, act on it. Abandon all sense of separation, see yourself in all and act accordingly. With action bliss will come and, with bliss, conviction. After all, you doubt yourself because you are in sorrow. Happiness, natural, spontaneous and lasting cannot be imagined. Either it is there, or it is not. Once you begin to experience the peace, love and happiness which need no outer causes, all your doubts will dissolve. Just catch hold of what I told you and live by it. I Am That Ch.83. The True Guru #nisargadattamaharaj #nisargadatta #SriNisargadattaMaharaj #srinisargadatta #IAmThat #advaita

You can become a night watchman and live happily. It is what you are inwardly that matters. Your inner peace and joy you have to earn. It is much more difficult than earning money. No university can teach you to be yourself. 💛 Nisargadatta Maharaj Q: What is permanent? M: Look to yourself for the permanent. Dive deep within and find what is real in you. Q: How to look for myself? M: Whatever happens, it happens to you. What you do, the doer is in you. Find the subject of all that you are as a person. Q: What else can I be? M: Find out. Even if I tell you that you are the witness, the silent watcher, it will mean nothing to you, unless you find the way to your own being. Q: My question is: How to find the way to one’s own being? M: Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I’? After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The ‘I am’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. Q: I am doing nothing else for the last years. M: What is wrong with striving? Why look for results? Striving itself is your real nature. Q: Striving is painful. M: You make it so by seeking results. Strive without seeking, struggle without greed. Q: Why has God made me as I am? M: Which God are you talking about? What is God? Is he not the very light by which you ask the question? ‘I am’ itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither the body nor mind, and the love of the self in you is for the self in all. The two are one. The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love. Q: How am I to find that love? M: What do you love now? The ‘I am’. Give your heart and mind to it, think of nothing else. This, when effortless and natural, is the highest state. In it love itself is the lover and the beloved. Q: Everybody wants to live, to exist. Is it not self-love? M: All desire has its source in the self. lt is all a matter of choosing the right desire. - Excerpt from I AM THAT. Chapter:Who am I?

Worship and meditate on your consciousness, the same consciousness which is in all living beings, indicated by the five sense organs and three gunas which supports your living and presence. Continue doing your activities; they will carry on spontaneously, but give attention to the knowledge that you are. Hold your beingness. Self-knowledge will tell you everything you need to know. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am Not the Body: Discovering the Truth Beyond Bondage #srinisargadattamaharaj #nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #iamthat #nisargadattamaharajquotes #teachings #yoga #wisdom #spirituality #meditation #knowledge #wise #indianspirituality #spiritualindia #spiritualwisdom

People repeat God’s name in various ways, as they are taught. According to my experience if the mantra is recited with proper breathing, the mind becomes silent and samadhi ensues. Even when Arjuna was fighting a war, his peace was not shaken. Without peace there is no samadhi. The peace that results from Self-realization is the real samadhi. The rest are mental constructs. Know that you are not the body or the mind or prana, and be quiet. Then the actions performed by the body-mind will not affect you. To whom has birth happened? To whom does old age come? Think about that. All good and bad habits come with the body, and go with the body. But you are not the body. As long as you take yourself as the body, there will be a sense of being a man or a woman with the accompanying pains and pleasures. All attributes depend upon body-consciousness. Our true nature has no attributes. The ultimate Truth, Paramatman, has no caste or creed. The one who is the knower recognizes this and keeps silent. If I tell you to do some ritual you will do it, but it will not be of any use to you. Your miseries are because of your consciousness, not because of the world. Knowledge that can be spoken is of the nature of ignorance. Any action in the world is just entertainment. Unless you forget this entertainment, there will be no peace. The real jnani does not see the world as true at all. A jnani has no problem of whether to act or not to act. Hence, nothing can be said about his household. Just saying, ‘I am not the body, I am not the mind’, is not sufficient. It should be known whose attributes are the body and the mind. Only wordy knowledge will not do. Consciousness in the body is the characteristic of the essence of food. It will last as long as the essence is there. All things are contained in consciousness. Prana and consciousness arise out of the food essence. How long will they last? Consciousness through which you experience the world is not everlasting. !!! MEDITATIONS with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

Metaphysics teaches you, there's a cause for everything but that's kindergarten. Cause does not exist. There never was a cause, for there would have to have been someone to make the cause, to produce the cause and of course most people call that God. So we get into duality, into separation. We say that God made the cause and we're experiencing the effect. So I ask you, "Where does this God come from that made the cause? And who made the God?" It's all concepts, it's all relative thinking. Do not try to understand this with your finite mind, you cannot. The infinite can never comprehend the finite or the finite can never comprehend the infinite. They are two different things. Robert Adams "It sounds sort of strange when I tell you if you have a disease, if you have physical problems, if you have problems of lack or limitation, do not [take extraordinary steps] to correct these things. Whatever problem you may think you have do not attempt to correct these things at all. Become the witness to the whole play of consciousness. Merely watch, observe, look intelligently at everything that appears. Whether it's in your body in the world in the universe or wherever. When you surrender like this something will give way and lead you where you're supposed to be at this present time of your incarnation, going through the experiences that you came here to go through. As you begin to trust and have faith in the powers that be, you find that you're becoming happier and happier and happier. Fears begin to leave you, anxiety, tension begins to disappear. For you no longer have anything in this world to rely on. Yet you are functioning, things are happening and you're at peace." ~ Robert Adams #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

Life has no meaning whatsoever. It doesn’t mean a thing. Those of you who are running around trying to make things happen are making a terrible mistake. Everything has been preordained. Everything is happening according to a divine plan. Everything that is supposed to happen to your body will happen by itself. Life has no meaning. The real reason it has no meaning is because it doesn’t exist the way it appears to exist. There is no life that really exists. The world does not exist, the universe does not exist. You do not exist as you appear to be. So life is meaningless. Any questions about, “What am I doing here?” Who says you’re here? First you believe you’re here and then you want to know the meaning to life. What you really mean by asking that question is, “How can I get everything I want in this world?” That is what you really mean. How can I obtain and maintain the things I desire? Riches, houses, cars, all the things of this world. Then you think life will be meaningful to you. It will only give you more suffering and more pain. Realize life is meaningless. Only the Self exists and you are that. You’re all-pervading, absolute reality. You are pure consciousness, this is your real Self. You have never been anything else but That, and that’s it.

"Most of us live a hectic life. We always have to be somewhere. We always have to do something. We're always running back and forth. We don't even know where we are going sometimes. We think we're doing something important. We've got to be here, we've got to be there. In the long run does it really matter? It's hard to understand, for some of us, that by being quiet, and not rushing and hurrying, we can get more done than we ever imagine. You do not come to this earth in the appearance of a body in order to bog yourself down in employment and family and homes. Now these things are fine if you use them correctly. There is nothing wrong with having employment, a family, a home. But do not allow those things to possess you. By affirming to yourself “Consciousness is the only power," you free yourself from attachment. Yet there is more love, there is a greater compassion, there is a greater joy, greater peace. When you say “God is the only power," or “Consciousness is the only power," it's the same thing, something begins to happen. A subtle energy begins to take shape, begins to take form, and begins to take over your life. You then realize that you have no life of your own. You go forth in this world doing the things you came here to do, living your life as it appears. Yet you're no longer concerned. You're no longer hurried or worried. Fear has left you. Anxiety has left you. Anger has left you. And you become one of those rare beings that appear to exist in the world but are totally free" Robert Adams November 7th,1991 #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

—– How do you surrender? —– Everyday you should sit a half hour in the morning and a half hour in the evening by yourself. Don’t meditate more than one half hour. Sit by yourself and watch your thoughts. Don’t react to your thoughts. Whatever comes to your mind never react, just watch, smile, and you’re surrendering. As your thoughts come, as thoughts come to you, you no longer pay any attention to it, it doesn’t bother you, that’s surrendering. The next thought comes to you, you don’t pay any attention to it. It doesn’t frighten you, it doesn’t make you happy, it doesn’t make you sad, just watch it and it’ll go away, you surrender that thought. You keep it up, keep it up, and as you keep it up your mind will become calmer and calmer and calmer and quieter and quieter and quieter, until the mind dissolves itself in the heart and you will be free. ~Robert Adams 💕☺ Think of your problem, if you have any. Whether it's depression or loneliness, lack, limitation, or sickness. You say, "I have a problem." The mistake you are making is you're identifying with the "I", with your body and your mind. Then that's the only problem you've got. You still believe that you are the problem or the body or the doer of the mind. That's the only problem you've got, no other problem. So if the problem of "I" is resolved, every other problem is resolved also. And people cannot grasp this. ~Robert Adams #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

Your previous identity will go and you will speak with a new identity, but without taking yourself as ‘so-and-so’. You will know nothing about the new identity as it will talk spontaneously. Here is a beautiful flower; who is responsible for its growth? As it has life force, it has movement. That which exists beautifully and tenderly in the flower, also speaks through this body. In the case of the flower, It does not speak, but It shows ‘It is’. It is both manifest and unmanifest, and It pervades everywhere. There is a minute sample of the infinite life force within you. You will merge into That. You will not be able to see It. Merging does not mean dying. !!! MEDITATIONS with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Excerpt from Nirupana 60. Satguru means the Eternal State which will never be changed: what you are. You are that Immutable, Eternal, Unchangeable Absolute. Satguru tells you to get rid of all these walls built around you by the hearsays and concepts of others. You have No Form, No Design. The names and forms you see are your consciousness only - the Self is Colorless but it is able to judge colors, etc. The one who is directed by a Satguru has no more birth. Your sadhana is over, you have reached this Place. To you who search for the Self, I explain this type of knowledge, I lead you to a State where there is no hunger, no desire. When you have knowledge, you see the "I" as All-Pervasive, as long as the consciousness is there, but the Witness of the Consciousness has no "I Am," that is your True Eternal Nature. Giving up the body is a great festival for me. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj _ [Prior to Consciousness ] #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

Grace is within you; if it were external it would be useless. Grace is the Self; you are never out of its reach. If you remember the guru, it is because you have been prompted by the Self. Isn't grace already there? Is there a moment when grace is not operating in you? Your remembrance of the guru is the forerunner of grace, Grace is both the response and the stimulus. That is the Self and that is grace. There is no cause for anxiety. Q: But isn't a guru's grace or God's grace necessary for one' s progress with vichara? M: Yes, but the inquiry that you are making is itself guru's grace or God's grace. - CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY From: “Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, Talk 578.” 🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷 Bhagavan: Coming here, some people do not ask about themselves. They ask: “Does the sage, liberated while alive (Jivanmukta), see the world? Is he affected by Karma? What is liberation after being disembodied? Is one liberated only after being disembodied or even while alive in the body? Should the body of the sage resolve itself in light or disappear from view in any other manner? Can he be liberated though the body is left behind as a corpse?” Their questions are endless. Why worry oneself in so many ways? Does liberation consist in knowing these? Therefore I say to them, “Leave liberation alone. Is there bondage? Know this. See yourself first and foremost.” #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

October 23, 1936 "Substance and shadow are for the one who sees only the shadow and mistakes it for the substance. But there is neither substance nor shadow for the one who is aware only of the Reality." ~ Talks With Ramana Maharshi "If Realization is not present here and now, how can it, newly obtained, be of any use? What is permanent must be eternally present. Can it be newly acquired and be permanent also? Realize what is present here and now. The sages did so before and still do that only. Hence they say that it looks as if it were newly acquired. Once veiled by ignorance and later revealed, Reality looks as if newly realized. But it is not new." —Talks with Ramana Maharshi "In deep sleep you exist; awake, you remain. The same Self is in both states. The difference is only in the awareness and the non-awareness of the world. The world rises with the mind and sets with the mind. That which rises and sets is not the Self. The Self is different, giving rise to the mind, sustaining it, and resolving it. So the Self is the underlying principle." —Talks with Ramana Maharshi "When the jiva does not like the house (body), he leaves it and he takes away along with him the watchman (breath of life) also. He wanders from one house to another saying this is no good and that is no good until at last he feels disgusted and gives up houses and the life connected with them. He then realises that his own Self is the best of all and, with an intensity of feeling, enquires about his own Self, realises the truth and stays within his Self. When that happens, who is the Seer?” (Bhagavan in 'Letters from Sri Ramanasramam' 226) #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

Bhagavan teaches that our inherent nature is already pure and perfect and we are ourself the light by which all things are seen. There is nothing that can be added or subtracted from our eternal nature. Bhagavan says, "It is impossible for anyone to get what he has not got already. Even if he gets any such thing, it will go as it came. What comes will also go. What always is will alone remain." (Day By Day, 16-9-45). From Day by Day with Bhagavan – All that we need do is to keep quiet. Peace is our real nature. We spoil it. What is required is that we cease to spoil it. We are not going to create peace a new. If we remove all rubbish, all the thoughts, from our minds, the peace will become manifest 💕💕💕 BEAUTY LIES IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER Q: But why should imperfection-come from perfection? M: Had it not been for the manifestation of the universe, we would not have thought about the real state. The purpose of the manifestation is for you to know the cause of it. There is no maya when you know your real state. It is your fault if you do not know yourself. Q: Is the world plan really good then? M: It is indeed good. The error is on our part. When we correct that error, the whole scheme becomes good. Q: How is it possible to change world suffering? M: Realize the Self; that is all that is necessary. Q: The world is materialistic. What is the remedy for that? M: Material or spiritual, it is according to your outlook. Correct your outlook! The Creator knows how to take care ofHis creation. #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI If one is lucky enough to find a Guru like Bhagavan one should stay with him and serve him wholeheartedly. Many people came to Bhagavan, did seva [service], and said that they wanted Self-realization. After some time, many of these people forgot the purpose for which they came to Bhagavan. They started dabbling in ashram politics and soon lost their desire for Self-realization. Other people had a few good experiences and then left, thinking that they had nothing more to learn. If you have the opportunity to stay with a Guru you should not waste your good fortune by leaving him or by indulging in activities in his vicinity. - LWB p. 330 CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI Q: I have read that if one meditates intensively enough, the current of meditation continues throughout the night. Just before I go to sleep at night I repeat to myself, 'I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am the immanent Self'. Will that have any effect? Will it work during the night? AS: What you are doing is very good. If you go to sleep with that strong conviction uppermost in your mind, it will work on the mind while you are asleep. If this idea is present while you sleep, the next morning this thought will come up of its own accord as the first thought of the day. - LWB, p. 330 #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta #annamalaiswami

Meet your own Self. Be with your own Self, listen to it, obey it, cherish it, keep it in mind endlessly. You need no other guide. As long as your urge for Truth affects your daily life, all is well with you. Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is the most powerful form of Yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. This is what I call Nisarga yoga, the Natural yoga. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. It's fruit is happiness, uncaused and endless. 🪷 — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj 💢⭕️💢 #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

Make no effort either to work or to renounce work. Your effort is the bondage. What is bound to happen will happen. If you are destined to cease working, work cannot be had even if you hunt for it. If you are destined to work you cannot leave it; you will be forced to engage in it. So leave it to the Higher Power. You cannot renounce or hold as you choose. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi From Talk 268; 23rd October, 1936 #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

N. Maharaj: " All this is an expression of Consciousness. That which is prior to it is the eternal and the True, that which has no beginning nor an end. Krishna delivered this message to Uddhava who recognised it as an expression of Krishna. He saw Krishna in everything and everyone. Do not assume Krishna. When the eyes are closed and yet the seeing takes place, it is the vast and the infinite. It is without attributes, neither good nor bad. The Lord's true nature is so vast and so limitless that many universes appear and disappear in it. That reality is what we are prior to our knowingness. The one who is delighted by understanding is immersed in that lake of bliss. Our sense of being springs from this highest state called Adhyatma, which is prior to everything. Who can help or harm the person who is one with the Self? For him, help and harm are the same. Both are concepts of the mind. There is an easy way to intuitively experience this understanding as a fact within your own life. One must constantly sip this milk of Consciousness by forgetting the body and the mind. If this cannot be practiced, then one must chant Jai Gurudev, which is the name for complete Consciousness. Do not interpret this knowledge with the aid of the mind. Only then does the true knowledge of being the Self, dawn. While chanting, remember the meaning of the Mantra. That Jnana, the enlightenment, finds a way to express itself through your personality. #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

If you have surrendered yourself to God or Guru the power to which you have surrendered will take you on the right course... Sri Ramana Maharshi.... Bhagavan to Arunachalaa.... "Didst Thou not call me in? I have come in and my maintenance is now thy burden.." Namo Arunachala!!! The Guru is absolutely necessary... The Upanishads say that no one but a Guru can take a man out of the jungle of intellect and sense perceptions.... Sri Ramana Maharshi.... Devotee: What are the marks of the Guru's Grace? Bhagavan: It is beyond words or thoughts.... Devotee: Can Sri Bhagavan help us to realise the truth? Bhagavan: Help is always there.... Devotee: I do not feel the ever present help.... Bhagavan: Surrender and you will be feel it.... Sri Ramana Maharshi... Guru and God can only indicate the path by saying, "You are that"... Nothing else can be done... Walking along the path is the work of the disciples.... Sri Ramana Maharshi.... #robertadams #robertadamsquotes #ramana #ramanamaharishi #sriramana #sriramanamaharishi #selfenquiry #atmavichara #iamthat #ahambrahmasmi #selfrealization #enlightenment #moksha #nirvana #advaita #nonduality #peace #love #bliss #inspiration #healing #satchitananda #meditation #Nisargadatta #nisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadattamaharaj #srinisargadatta

When one realizes that one is liberated, no worldly dealings are left for him. This is the true situation. Those who got liberated but did not continue with devotion to the Guru were not useful to common people. They are not known to common people. Those who continued devotional practices after liberation, their presence is always there even if they no longer physically exist. After Self-realization when body-consciousness is gone, one does not require anything else for comfort; he becomes a ‘nobody’ and by being that he becomes extinct. There is no use of the Guru unless there is complete faith and devotion. Are seekers who go to the Himalayas and find salvation of any use to other people? Many a great king has come and gone; people do not remember him any longer. Those who practiced devotion to the Guru benefited the people, and people are devoted to such sages even now. There is no greater charity than offering of Self-knowledge. One who receives it becomes like the one who gives it. This is not true for other worldly gifts. There should be devotion towards the one who gives knowledge. Even if the Guru is worshipped in stone or clay, it bears fruit. Never let go of devotion to the Guru. His creed will manifest through us. Such is the greatness of devotion to the Guru. Those who were devoted to liberation became immortal in the minds of the people. One should never forget to worship the Guru (consciousness). Obligations to the one who gives Self-knowledge can never be paid off. One can only offer continued.worship and share his teaching with others. Where there are no instruments, do mental worship and sing devotional songs. Why is Guru-bhajan performed? It is for uplifting the world. By doing this one becomes as worthy as the Guru. (After Self-realization, the teaching process should continue for the benefit of others.) God is the same as Self-knowledge, do not use other concepts. Never let go of devotion to the Guru. !!! MEDITATIONS with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

"It is true Wisdom For the 'mind' to turn away From outer objects and behold Its own effulgent form. When unceasingly the 'mind' Scans its own form There is nothing of the kind. 'Thoughts' alone make up the 'mind'. What is called 'mind' is but the notion 'I'. When one turns within and searches Whence this 'I'-thought arises, The shamed 'I' vanishes ~ And, Wisdom's quest begins. Where this 'I'-notion faded Now there as "I"-"I" arises The ONE, the very SELF, The Infinite. " SRI BHAGAVAN in UPADESA SARAM, VERSES 16 TO 20. Once, when the Maharshi was living on the hills, a hunter was about to kill a peacock. Sri Maharshi asked him not to kill it; but the hunter brushed aside his words, saying, "Go Swami, who is asking you?" and went on with his game. The next day, it would appear, the man had an accident and the very hand with which he did the fowl deed had to be cut off. "I felt sorry for him," said the Maharshi speaking of it, "but what is to be done? People have to go through these things before they would learn."
