All unhappiness is due to the ego. With it comes all your trouble. If you would deny the ego and scorch it by ignoring it you would be free.
Ramana MaharshiHappiness is your real nature. You identify with yourself with the body and mind, feel it's limitations, and suffer. Realize your true self in order to open the store of happiness. That true self is the reality, the Supreme Truth, which is the self of all the world you now see, the self of all the selves, the One real, the Supreme, the Eternal self - as distinct from the ego or the bodily idea for the self.
Ramana MaharshiYou need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
Ramana MaharshiYour true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
