Actions themselves form no bondage. Bondage is only the false belief,"I am the do-er."
Ramana MaharshiEven the structure of the atom has been found by the mind. Therefore the mind is subtler than the atom. That which is behind the mind, namely the individual soul, is subtler than the mind.
Ramana MaharshiMeditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts; distraction of mind is a sign of its weakness; by constant meditation it gains strength.
Ramana MaharshiGod illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God.
