Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

The sense of body is a thought;

the thought is of the mind,

The mind rises after the " I " -thought,

the " I " -thought is the root-thought.

If that is held,

the other thoughts will disappear.

There will be no body,

no mind, not even the ego;

only the Self in all its purity.

 

To remain as the Self

is not difficult.

 

[from] Talks with Ramana Maharshi

[recorded Aug 29th, 1936]

 

" Talks is the living voice

of the greatest Sage

of the 20th century. "
