Q: Seekers who visited Maharaj wanted to know how they too, could come to this awareness.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
How do you go about finding anything? By keeping your mind and heart on it.
Interest there must be, and steady remembrance. To remember what needs to be remembered is the secret of success.
You come to it through earnestness. Seek a clear mind and a clean heart.
All you need is to keep quietly alert, inquiring into the real nature of yourself. This is the only way to peace.
All happens by itself. Neither the seeker nor the guru does anything. Things happen as they happen. Blame or praise are apportioned later, after the sense of doership appears.
