Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

Ignorance vanishing,

the residue reveals itself.

It is experience,

not in the category of knowledge.

 

Everything is one's Self.

To see the world there must be a spectator.

There could be no world without the Self.

The Self is all comprising.

In fact, Self is all.

There is nothing besides the Self.

 

The Self is changeless;

it is the ego that has intervened.

That which rises and sets is the ego;

that which remains changeless is the Self.
