“All that a guru can tell you is:
‘My dear Sir, you are quite mistaken about yourself.
You are not the person you take yourself to be.’”
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
When mind-storm strikes - cut or unplug.
Avoid engaging in any story or analysis.
Instead, immediately cut the juice of attention
and unplug from the mind current.
This is the marvelousness of impersonal witnessing;
that simply by keeping one’s attention in the state of
neutrality, mind returns to its natural abode as unborn awareness.
~ Mooji
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
~Carl Jung
You are what you are, timelessly, but of what use is it to you unless you know it and act on it?
Your begging bowl may be of pure gold, but as long as you do not know it you are a pauper. You must know your inner worth and trust it and express it in the daily sacrifice of desire and fear.
~Nisargadatta Maharaj
Q: What is Always Already Present?
But where is this gathering?
- I don’t know, my little angel.
But do the others know?
- No, they don’t know either.
How can you go to a gathering without knowing where it is?
- It suffices to walk, just walk. Those who are invited will find the way.

You need not worry about your worries.
Just be.
Don’t be restless about ‘being quiet’,
miserable about ‘being happy’.
Just be aware that you are and remain aware -
don’t say: “Yes I am; what’s next?” There is no ‘next’ in ‘I am’.
It is a timeless state.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
“A man who is seeking for realization is not only going around searching for his spectacles without realizing that they are on his nose all the time, but also were he not actually looking through them he would not be able to see what he is looking for!”
- Wei Wu Wei
A Handful Will Step Out Of This Samsara Life ~ Mooji
I leave my human nature to unfold according to its destiny.
I remain as I am. ~Nisargadatta Maharaj.
“God made the senses turn outwards: man therefore looks outwards, not into himself. Now and again a daring soul, desiring immortality, has looked back and found himself.
He is the imperishable among things that perish. Life of all life, He, though one, satisfies every man’s desire. He that dare discover Him within, knows peace; what other dare know peace?”
~ Katha Upanishad
There is no height. There is no light.
There is no darkness; there is no movement,
Nor is there any stillness,
In the end there is only a point,
Yet it has no circle around it.
Swami Raman Ananda
In every moment you only have one real choice: to be aware of the Self or to identify with the body and the mind.
~ Annamalai Swami
