If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana MaharshiThe mind of one meditating on a single object becomes one-pointed. And one-pointedness of mind leads to abidance in the self. Real attainment is to be fully conscious, to be aware of surroundings and the people around, to move among them all, but not to merge consciousness in the environment. One should remain in inner independent awareness.
Ramana MaharshiGood thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
