Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Bhagavan: The world is only in the mind. It does not speak out, saying: 'I am the world'. If it did, it would have to be always present even in your sleep. Since it is not present in sleep, it is impermanent. Being impermanent, it has no reality. Having no reality, it is easily subdued by the Self. The Self alone is permanent. Renunciation is non-identification of the Self with the non-self. On the disappearance of ignorance, the non-self ceases to exist. That is true renunciation. >From The Teachings of Ramana Maharshi...edited by Osborne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
