Additional quotes by Nisargadatta Maharaj

(…) All those who proclaim their own greatness and uniqueness are not gnanis. (…) Proclaiming oneself to be an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipotent deity is a clear sign of ignorance.

It may seem arduous, but it is easy if you are earnest, and quite impossible if you are not. Everything yields to earnestness.

It is only when you are satiated with the changeable and long for the unchangeable that you are ready for turning around and stepping into what can be described (when seen from the level of the mind) as emptiness and darkness.
