Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.

The inquiry "who am I" turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.

Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.

An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.

That which rises and sinks is made up of what it rises from. The finality of the universe is the God Arunachala. Meditating on Him or on the seer, the Self, there is a mental vibration 'I' to which all are reduced. Tracing the source of 'I', the primal 'I-I' alone remains over, and it is inexpressible. The seat of Realisation is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart. The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it. There is nothing else to do.
