Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Quotes About Pain

Quotes about: Pain

• 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.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Spiritual, Truth, Pain

• Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers. When the centre of selfishness is no longer, all desires for pleasure and fear of pain cease; one is no longer interested in being happy; beyond happiness there is pure intensity, inexhaustible energy, the ecstasy of giving from a perennial source.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Love Is, Giving

• True happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the Self and can be found in the Self only. Find your real Self and all else will come with it.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Spiritual, Pain, Real

• All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors. Your constant flight from pain and search for pleasure is a sign of love you bear for your self, all I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect. Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Love You, Errors

• To understand suffering, you must go beyond pain and pleasure. Your own desires and fears prevent you from understanding and thereby helping others. In reality there are no others, and by helping yourself you help everybody else. If you are serious about the suffering of mankind, you must perfect the only means of help you have, yourself.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Inspirational, Pain, Suffering

• To see the universe as it is, you must step beyond the net [the matrix]. It is not hard to do so, as the net is full of holes. Look at the net and its many contradictions. You do and undo at every step. You want peace, love and happiness, and work hard to create pain, hatred and war. You want longevity and you overeat. You want friendship and you exploit. See your net as made of such contradictions and remove them - your very seeing them will make them go away.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, War, Hard Work

• All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious the deeper the joy. Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage and endurance - these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Real, Acceptance

• When pain is accepted for what it is, a lesson and a warning, and deeply looked into and heeded, the separation between pain and pleasure breaks down, both become just experience - painful when resisted, joyful when accepted.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Inspiration, Practice

• See that you are not what you believe yourself to be. Fight with all the strength at your disposal against the idea that you are nameable and describable. You are not. Refuse to think of this or that. There is no other way out of misery, which you have created for yourself through blind acceptance without investigation. Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation. Don't be lazy to think.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Believe, Fighting

• If you are angry or in pain, separate yourself from anger and pain and watch them. Externalization is the first step to liberation.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

• We grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Intelligent, Self

• Pain is physical; suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Moving, Inspiration

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

• Suffering is primarily a
  call for attention, which itself is a movement of love. More than
  happiness, love wants growth, the widening and deepening of awareness and consciousness and being. Whatever prevents that, becomes a cause of pain, and love does not shirk from pain.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Pain, Suffering, Growth

• Nature is neither pleasant nor painful. It is all intelligence and beauty. Pain and pleasure are in the mind.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Beauty, Nature, Pain
