What comes will also go. What always is will alone remain.
~Ramana Maharshi

*WORDS OF WISDOM*

If you want to become full,
Let yourself be empty.

If you want to be reborn,
Let yourself die.

If you want to be given everything,
Give everything up.

~ Lao Tzu

*WORDS OF WISDOM* —Talks with Ramana Maharshi

"In deep sleep you exist; awake, you remain. The same Self is in both states. The difference is only in the awareness and the non-awareness of the world. The world rises with the mind and sets with the mind. That which rises and sets is not the Self. The Self is different, giving rise to the mind, sustaining it, and resolving it. So the Self is the underlying principle."

*WORDS OF WISDOM*

D.: How is the ego to be destroyed ?

Sri Bhagavan : Hold the ego first and then ask how it is to be destroyed. Who asks this question ? It is the ego. Can the ego ever agree to kill itself ? This question is a sure way to cherish the ego and not to kill it. If you seek the ego you will find it does not exist. That is the way to destroy it.

~Ramana Maharshi

*WORDS OF WISDOM* - “Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.” RAMANA MAHARSHI

*WORDS OF WISDOM* - NO ONE SUCCEEDS WITHOUT EFFORT; MIND CONTROL IS NOT ONE'S BIRTHRIGHT~Ramana Maharshi

D.: How can the rebellious mind be brought under control?

M.: Either seek its source so that it may disappear or surrender that it may be struck down.

D.: But the mind slips away from our control.

M.: Be it so. Do not think of it. When you recollect yourself bring it back and turn it inward. That is enough.

No one succeeds without effort. Mind control is not one's birthright. The successful few owe their success to their perseverance.

RAMANA MAHARSHI

*WORDS OF WISDOM* - 'SELF-INQUIRY' and 'SELF-SURRENDER' are the path-less paths, leading us towards the path-less land of 'Self-Realization' and 'Sahaja-Samadhi'~Swaathmaaraaman

“Place your burden at the feet of the Lord of the universe who is ever victorious and accomplishes everything. Remain all the time steadfast in the heart, in the Transcendental Absolute. God knows the past, present and future. He will determine the future for you and accomplish the work. What is to be done will be done at the proper time. Don’t worry. Abide in the heart and surrender your acts to the Divine.”
