Zitate von Nisargadatta Maharaj

„(…) Beobachten Sie Ihren Geist, wie er entsteht, wie er funktioniert. Wenn Sie Ihren Geist beobachten, entdecken Sie sich selbst als Beobachter. Wenn Sie regungslos stehen und nur zuschauen, entdecken Sie sich selbst als das Licht hinter dem Beobachter. (…).“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

„(…) if you can change yourself you will find that no other change is needed. To change the picture you merely change the film, you do not attack the cinema screen! (…) Clarify your mind, purify your heart, sanctify your life – this is the quickest way to a change of your world.“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

Change

„(…) Watch your mind, how it comes into being, how it operates. As you watch your mind, you discover your self as the watcher. When you stand motionless, only watching, you discover your self as the light behind the watcher. (…).“

Mind

„(…) I am all and all is me. Being the world I am not afraid of the world. Being all, what am I to be afraid of? Water is not afraid of water, nor fire of fire. (…) It is attachment to a name and shape that breeds fear. I am not attached. I am nothing, and nothing is not afraid of no thing. On the contrary, everything is afraid of the Nothing, for when a thing touches Nothing, it becomes nothing. (…)“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

Nothingness
Quelle: "I am That." P.88.

„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.“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

„Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,

„Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

„Don’t try to understand! It’s enough if you do not misunderstand.“

„The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

I am
Kontext: I am' itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither the body nor the 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.

„Nothing ever goes wrong.“

„To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal with
people, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you need
nothing. Be what you are--conscious being--and don't stray away from
yourself.“

„Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj, buch I Am That

I am
Variante: Love says 'I am everything.' Wisdom says 'I am nothing.' Between the two, my life flows.
Quelle: I Am That
Kontext: "I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing. I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like. Love says 'I am everything'. Wisdom says "I am nothing'. Between the two, my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am both, and neither, and beyond both."

„God is only an idea in your mind. The fact is you. The only thing you know for sure is: ‘here and now I am.’ Remove the ’here and now’ the ‘I am’ remains, unassailable. (…). All I can say truly is: ‘I am,’ all else is inference (…). The sense ‘I am’ is the manifestation of a deeper cause, which you may call self, God, Reality or by any other name. (…).“

—  Nisargadatta Maharaj

God

„Discard all traditional standards. Leave them to the hypocrites. Only what liberates you from desire and fear and wrong ideas is good. As long as you worry about sin and virtue you will have no peace. (…)“
