Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Quotes about Unity

  • The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.
  • There is nothing wrong with duality as long as it does not create conflict. Multiplicity and variety without strife is joy. In pure consciousness there is light. For warmth, contact is needed. Above the unity of being is the union of love. Love is the purpose of duality.
  • Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
  • "I AM" itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither body nor mind, but the love of the self in you 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.
