Beauty ＆ Pure 197

When other thoughts arise, ask “To whom? To me? Where does this ‘I’ arise?” Thus diving inwards, if one traces the source of the mind and reaches the Heart, one becomes the Sovereign Lord of the Universe. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Beauty ＆ Pure 196

There is One unchanging indivisible Reality which, though unmanifest, reveals Itself in infinite multiplicity and diversity. That One – the Supreme Truth – is ever present everywhere in all circumstances. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma    アナンダマイマーの言葉です

Beauty ＆ Pure 195

D.: Is success not dependent on Guru’s Grace?

M.: Yes, it is. Is not your practice itself due to such Grace? The fruits are the result of the practice and follow it automatically. There is a stanza in Kaivalya which says, “O Guru! You have been always with me watching me through several reincarnations, and ordaining my course until I was liberated.” The Self manifests externally as Guru when occasion arises; otherwise He is always within, doing the needful.

Beauty ＆ Pure 194

The mind is by nature restless. Begin liberating it from its restlessness; give it peace; make it free from distractions; train it to look inward; make this a habit.

Beauty ＆ Pure 193

You are now thinking that you are the mind or the body
which are both changing and transient.
But you are unchanging and eternal.
That is what you should know.


~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Beauty ＆ Pure 192

This body itself is a disease. The root cause of it is ignorance. If for that ignorance the medicine called Jnana is administered all inherent diseases will disappear at once.”

Beauty ＆ Pure 191

The ego in its purity is experienced in intervals between two states
or two thoughts. Ego is like that caterpillar which leaves its hold
only after catching another. Its true nature can be found when it is
out of contact with objects or thoughts.

~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
