Ramana MaharshiConcentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.
Ramana MaharshiWhy should we... constantly worry ourselves... as to what should be done and how, and what should not be done and how not?
