Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Liberation is not gained. It is recognized.”

“Be aware. Just be aware. That is enough.”

“The 'I am' is the doorway to the eternal.”

“Stay with 'I am' until it reveals what you are.”

“Beyond awareness lies the absolute.”

“Do not deny. Do not affirm. Just be.”

“Mind cannot grasp what is beyond mind.”

“The seer cannot be seen.”

“Don't believe; experience.”

“You cannot find what you have never lost.”

“To be free, give up the idea of being someone.”

“I am not, nor am I not. I am not even this thought.”

“The self is not separate from the world; the world is the self.”

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

“I am not, I am not at all. Consciousness is not mine. There is no 'me'.”

“The self is only an idea, a thought. When you are free of that idea, you are free.”

“Suffering ceases when you realize its illusory nature.”
