Go, find yourself in its hidden depths.

Being aware of the Self
is the real meditation.
Q: Sri Bhagavan's silence is itself a powerful force. It brings about a certain peace of mind in us.
Maharshi: Silence is never-ending speech.
Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. The silence of Dakshinamurti removed the doubts of the four sages. Mouna Vyakhya prakatita tattvam means the truth expounded by silence.
Silence is said to be exposition. Silence is so potent.
For vocal speech, organs of speech are necessary and they precede speech. But the other speech lies even beyond thought. It is in short transcendent speech or unspoken words.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Meditation differs according to the degree of advancement of the seeker. If one is fit for it, one might directly hold the thinker; and the thinker will automatically sink into his source, namely Pure Consciousness.
If one cannot directly hold the thinker, one must meditation on God; and in due course the same individual will have become sufficiently pure to hold the thinker and sink into absolute Being.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
A visitor asked: " Sri Bhagavan! When I heard of you, a strong desire arose in me to see you. Why should it be so ?
Bhagawan - The desire arose in the same way as the body arises to the Self.
Devotee - What is the purpose of life ?
Bhagwan - To seek to know the significance of life is itself the result of good karma in the past births. Those who do not seek such knowledge are simply wasting their lives.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
The desire to find the Self will be surely fulfilled, provided you want nothing else. But you must be honest with yourself and really want nothing else.

Leave your existence to existence. Stop caring for yourself so much and let the universe care for you; it is the best mother. There has to be some trust, not just belief, because trust is intimate.

Friendliness is a quality not a relationship.
It has nothing to do with anybody else; it is basically your inner quality.
You can be friendly even when you are alone.
