Because a man identifies himself
with the body/mind
he see a world separate from him.
This wrong identification arises
because he has lost his moorings
and has swerved from
his original state.
He is now advised to
give up all these false ideas,
to trace back his source
and remain as the Self.
In that state,
there are no differences.
No questions will arise. —Ramana Maharshi

Man leans on his frail opinions
and then wonders why
he always feels
about to fall. —Vernon Howard

A million people can declare
that wrong is right,
but all will suffer
from the wrongness.

Anger is resistance.
Fear is resistance to what is.
Upsetness is resistance to something seen or heard.
Depression is resistance to the moment as it is and feel hopeless to control it, and so on. Resistace and control make up the ego.
Accepting something that resists, automatically removes the resistance.

When we wake up we can live fully, without seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, without re-creating ourselves after we fall apart.

He who thinks he is the doer is also the sufferer. -Ramana Maharshi

Effort must be made to eradicate the mental tendencies. Knowledge can only remain unshaken after all the mental tendencies are rooted out. —Ramana Maharshi

Silence is not something
you attain.

Silence is what you are
when you stop being
involved with noise.
