Dear all,
The most delighted words of Ramana by me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Without yielding to the doubt "Is it possible, or not?", one should
persistently hold on to the meditation on the Self. Even if one be a
great sinner, one should not worry and weep
"O! I am a sinner, how can I be saved?"; one should completely
renounce the thought "I am a sinner"; and concentrate keenly on
meditation on the Self; then, one would surely succeed. There are not
two minds - one good and the other evil; the mind is only one. It is
the residual impressions that are of two kinds - auspicious and
inauspicious. When the mind is under the influence of auspicious
impressions it is called good; and when it is under the influence of
inauspicious impressions it is regarded as evil.
The mind should not be allowed to wander towards worldly objects and
what concerns other people. However bad other people may be, one
should bear no hatred for them.
Both desire and hatred should be eschewed. All that one gives to
others one gives to one's self. If this truth is understood who will
not give to others? When one's self arises all arises; when one's self
becomes quiescent all becomes quiescent. To the extent we behave with
humility, to that extent there will result good. If the mind is
rendered quiescent, one may live anywhere.
