Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

" The mind now sees itself

diversified as the universe.

If the diversity is not manifest

it remains in its own essence;

that is the Heart.

Entering the Heart

means remaining

without distractions.

 

The Heart is the only reality.

The mind is only a transient phase.

To remain as one's Self

is to enter the Heart.

 

If one remains,

as the Self;

there is Bliss. "
