Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

The Real is That what is;

the others are only appearances.

Diversity is not its nature.

We are reading the printed characters

on paper, but ignore the paper

which is the background.

Similarly, you are taken up by the manifestations

of the mind, and let go the background.

Whose fault is it?

 

Is there a difference between the

individual soul and the Self?

That is what IS.
