Thus Spake Ramana Maharshi

[Guest guest]

" Absence of thoughts does not mean a blank.

There must be one to know the blank. Knowledge

and ignorance are of the mind; they are born of

duality. But the Self is beyond knowledge and

ignorance. It is light itself. There is no need to

see the Self with another Self; there are no two

selves. What is not Self, is non-self. The non-self

cannot see the Self. The Self possesses no sight

or hearing.

It lies beyond these, --all alone,

as pure consciousness. "
