More on 'The Soul'

[Guest guest]

>From our previous post...

 

“What the Sage meant was that if the real Self be found the ego would be

extinguished, and that the ignorance complained of will be extinguished along

with the ego....."

 

[To continue...}

 

"The correct meaning of the sacred text, ‘Thou art That’, as given by the Sage,

is recorded in the Guru-Ramana-Vachana-Mala as follows: “Thou art not the body,

nor the senses, nor the mind, nor the vital force, nor the ego. Thou art That

which will shine as the pure ‘I AM’ when, by the renunciation of the original

sin — which is just the notion of selfhood in these — and by the Quest of the

real Self, the mind is utterly extinguished in the Heart and the world ceases

to be seen.”
