" asks Ramana Maharshi, and continues: " Because you look outwards you have lost sight of the Self and your vision is external... Turn your gaze within. " Nor is this difficult, he assures us: " It's absurd --- the idea that to see other things is easy but to look within is hard. It must be the other way round. " (D. E.

Why, The Beloved Is the object Of your ceaseless Passions. And what do These hot passions Seek? Why, They seek Their own Consumation -- Their own Dissolution. What truly Worthy Beloved Can do such a thing? And with love And compassion? Why, The Beloved Worthy of such a name ...
