Having set one's family in consonance with the community, he should make his family prosperous to ensure the prosperity of the community.
Ramana MaharshiWhen one makes the mind stick to one thought, the mind becomes rock-steady and the energy is conserved.
Ramana MaharshiEven in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.
Ramana MaharshiIn accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
