Devotee: What are the obstacles which hinder realization of the Self?
M.: They are habits of mind (vasanas).
D.: How to overcome the mental habits (vasanas)?
M.: By realizing the Self.
D.: That is a vicious circle.
M.: It is the ego which raises such difficulties, creating obstacles and then suffers from the perplexity of apparent paradoxes. Find out who makes the inquiries and the Self will be found.
-from Talk 13 of 'Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi'
