Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

" Know the doubter.

If the doubter be held, doubts will not arise.

Here the doubter is transcendental. Again,

when the doubter ceases to exist, there

will be no doubts arising.

From where could they arise?

 

All are Self-realized only they are not

aware of the fact. Doubts must be

uprooted. This means that the doubter

must be uprooted.

Here the doubter is the mind.

 

" Who am I? " is the investigation.

Investigate and the thoughts will cease.

That which IS, namely the Self, will

be revealed as the inescapable residue. "
