Sayings from Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Recorded in June 1918 By C.V. Subramania Aiyer

[Guest guest]

1. Turn the mind inward and rest in your own Self.

 

2. Mind is the cause of bondage.

 

3. Give up one thing after another and rest in peace.

 

4. What we get, we shall lose, so desire not.

 

5. There are two kinds of meditation. The first is to be practised by

advanced aspirants — nirguna dhyana — where one seeks to know the Meditator

himself. The second kind is to be practised by those less advanced — a some

what round about course — saguna dhyana — where the meditator, meditation

and the object of meditation get merged ultimately into one.

 

6. When I come to know that I was never born, I shall never die. Death is

for one who is born. I was never born. I have no body and so I shall never

die. I am everywhere; where am I to go and where am I to come?

 

7. When a man’s mind is dead, he will not die again.

 

8. Attain the sushupti (state of sleep) in the jagrat (waking) state, and

you become a jnani.
