When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home.
Ramana MaharshiYou may go on reading any number of books on Meditation. They can only tell you โRealize the Selfโ. The Self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself in yourself.
Ramana MaharshiWhat exists in truth is the Self alone. The world, the individual soul and God are appearances in it. Like silver in mother-of-pearl, these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time. The Self is that where there is absolutely no 'I thought'. That is called 'Stillness'. The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana MaharshiPure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.
