Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

" I am Brahman, " is only a thought.

Who says it?

Brahman itself does not say so.

What need is there for it to say it?

Nor can the real " I " say so.

For " I " always abides as Brahman.

To be saying it is only a thought.

Whose thought is it?

All thoughts are from the unreal " I, "

i.e., the " I " -thought.

Remain without thinking.

So long as there is thought

there will be fear.
