Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
Ramana MaharshiHow to get rid of the mind? Is it the mind that wants to kill itself? The mind cannot kill itself. So your business is to find the real nature of the mind. Then you will know that there is no mind. When the Self is sought, the mind is nowhere. Abiding in the Self, one need not worry about the mind.
Ramana MaharshiThat is the ego which rises and sinks periodically. But you exist always. That which lies beyond the ego is consciousness - the Self.
Ramana MaharshiYou are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.
