There is no reaching the Self. If Self were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not here and now but that it is yet to be obtained. What is got afresh will also be lost. So it will be impermanent. What is not permanent is not worth striving for. So I say the Self is not reached. You are the Self; you are already That.
Ramana MaharshiWhen the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
Ramana MaharshiBliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.
