You are the witness of the three bodies: the gross, the subtle, and the causal, and of the three times: past, present and future, and also this void. In the story of the tenth man, when each of them counted and thought they were only nine, each one forgetting to count himself, there is a stage when they think one is missing and do not know who it is; and that corresponds to the void. We are so accustomed to the notion that all that we see around us is permanent and that we are this body, that when all this ceases to exist we imagine and fear that we also have ceased to exist.
Ramana MaharshiThere is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
Ramana MaharshiYou are the Supreme Being, and yet thinking yourself to be separate from it, you strive to become united with it. What is stranger than this?
Ramana MaharshiRemain still, with the conviction that the Self shines as everything yet nothing, within, without, and everywhere.
Ramana MaharshiThe mind turned inwards is the Self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.
Ramana Maharshi
