Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

Atma Dharma is inherence in the Self.

There will be no distraction

and no fear.

Troubles arise only

when there is a second to oneself.

If the Atman is realized to be only unitary,

there is no second

and therefore no cause for fear.

Man, as he is now,

confounds the non-self with the Self

and suffers.

Let him know the Self

and abide in it.

then there is an end of fear,

and there are no more doubts.
