The main factor in meditation is to keep the mind active in its own pursuit without taking in external impressions or thinking of other matters.
Ramana MaharshiIf you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Ramana MaharshiThere is nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.
Ramana MaharshiEvery living being longs always to be happy, untainted by sorrow; and everyone has the greatest love for himself, which is solely due to the fact that happiness is his real nature. Hence, in order to realize that inherent and untainted happiness, which indeed he daily experiences when the mind is subdued in deep sleep, it is essential that he should know himself. For obtaining such knowledge the inquiry 'Who am I?' in quest of the Self is the best means.
