Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
Ramana MaharshiIn truth, you are spirit. The body has been projected by the mind, which itself originates from Spirit.
Ramana MaharshiWhat is illusion? M.: To whom is the illusion? Find it out. Then illusion will vanish. Generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. It is foolish. Illusion is outside and unknown. But the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. Find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.
