Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Ramana MaharshiEating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.
Ramana MaharshiHappiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
