Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Quotes about Harmony

  • Everybody does the same mistake: refusing the means, but wanting the ends. You want peace and harmony in the world, but refuse to have them in yourself.
  • The essence of saintliness is total acceptance of the present moment, harmony with things as they happen.
  • Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of Yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. This is what I call nisarga yoga, the Natural yoga. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless.
  • If you want peace and harmony in the world, you must have peace and harmony in your hearts and minds.
