Sri Maharaj Nisargadatta. (№ 213520)

You are always seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, always after happiness and peace. Can't you see that your search for happiness making you unhappy? Try the other way: indifferent to pain and pleasure, without asking anything and not refusing, give all attention to the level at which there is always "I am." Soon you will realize that peace and happiness are inherent in your nature, and only search for them through special channels to distract you. Avoid distraction, that's all. There is no need to search - you're not going to look for what you already have. You yourself are God, the Supreme Reality.
