Quote by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that truth is not something that can be earned or achieved through specific actions or accomplishments. It states that truth is inherent and immutable, beyond any external criteria. The quote reminds us that being eligible for the truth is not contingent on our worthiness or deservability; it is inherently ours simply by existing. The quote then goes on to advocate for stillness and silence as a means to connect with our inner truth, suggesting that by quieting the mind and staying present, we can access and embrace our own truth.
