Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.
Ramana MaharshiThere is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana MaharshiYou need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
Ramana Maharshi
