We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.
Ramana MaharshiThere is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality.
Ramana MaharshiRealisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
Ramana MaharshiYou need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
Ramana Maharshi
