The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.

As soon as the mind reaches the heart inwardly investigating 'Who am I?, the one who is I' bows its head in shame (and dies, the one appears spontaneously as 'I am I'. Although it appears, it is not

I. It is 'vastu-purna' (the perfectly whole reality),

'vastu' (the essential reality) which is oneself.

#SriRamanaMaharshi

So long as we are aware of any phenomena or forms other than ourself, we have risen and are standing as ego and we are thereby nourishing the ego.

To make it subside back into its source, to starve the ego, we need to give up being aware of anything other than ourself and be aware of ourself alone.

#SriRamanaMaharshi

Thoughts, good or bad,

take you farther and not nearer, because the Self is more intimate than thoughts.

You are Self, whereas the thoughts are alien to the Self.

#SriRamanaMaharshi

All thoughts are sorrowful,

because thoughts take one's

attention away from the self,

which is undiluted

happiness.

The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun. ๐Ÿ˜Œโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

A noble heart never forces itself forward.

Every day is a fortunate day.

Live with cause and leave results to the great Law of the Universe.

Pass each day in peaceful

contemplation.
