There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana MaharshiActions themselves form no bondage. Bondage is only the false belief,"I am the do-er."
Ramana MaharshiOur identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.
Ramana MaharshiThere is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.
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.
