Questioner: How does one get rid of these hindrances?

 

Bhagavan Ramana: Seek the Self through meditation. In this manner, trace

every thought back to it origin, which is only the mind. Never allow

thought to run on. If you do, it will be unending. Take it back to its

starting place, the mind, again and again, and it and the mind will both

die of inaction. The mind exists only by reason of thought. Stop that and

there is no mind. As each doubt and depression arises, ask yourself, "Who

is it that doubts? What is it that is depressed?" Go back constantly to

the question, "Who is the 'I'? Where is it?" Tear everything away until

there is nothing but the Source of all left. And then - live always in the

present and only in it. There is no past or future, save in the mind.
