Oh mind, thou hast already suffered, thinking `I am a jiva;' do not fall into worse delusion by believing `I am Brahman;' in the Transcendental State there is no one answering to the name of `I'. 152. The state of liberated Being can be reached only by dying; but dying does not consist in destruction of the body; one should understand that true death is the extinction of the ideas `I and mine'. from: Guru-Ramana-Vachana-Mala By 'Who' (K. Lakshmana Sarma). An English rendering with explanatory notes of 350 Sanskrit verses embodying the oral teachings of Sri Bhagavan. About 300 of the verses are originally from Sri Muruganar's Guru Vachaka Kovai (The Garland of Guru's Sayings). http://www.ramana-maharshi.org/books.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
