Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

" This mind or brain acts as the magnifier

to that Eternal One Being and shows it

forth as the expanded universe. In the

waking and dream states, the mind is

outward bent and in deep sleep is in-

ward bent; with the mind as the medium,

the one Supreme Being seems diversified.

Therefore, you are only That and cannot

be otherwise. Whatever the changes, the

same one Being remains as yourself; there

is nothing besides yourself: the one Self

of all. "
