Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

Where are you now that you want to reach the Heart?

Are you standing apart from the Self?

 

Wherefrom do you extend?

 

You are always in the Heart.

You are never away from it

in order that you should reach it.

 

The idea of difficulty is itself wrong.

It will not help you to gain what you want.

Again I ask, " Who finds it difficult? "

 

You are always That and never away from it.

There is nothing so simple as being the Self.

One has to leave off the wrong identity

and be in his eternal, natural, inherent state.
