One of the very rarest gems ππ½π from #Bhagavaan Thiru #Ramana Maharshi:
If one goes on wanting, oneβs wants cannot be fulfilled. Whereas if one remains desireless anything will be forthcoming. We are not in the wife, children, profession, etc.; but they are in us; they appear and disappear according to oneβs prarabdha.
The mind remaining still is samadhi, no matter whether the world is perceived or not.
Environment, time and objects are all in me. How can they be independent of me? They may change, but I remain unchanging, always the same. The objects can be differentiated by means of their names and forms, whereas each oneβs name is only one and that is βIβ. Ask anyone, he says βIβ and speaks of himself as βIβ, even if He is Isvara. His name too is βIβ only.
So also of a locality. As long as I am identified with the body so long a locality is distinguishable; otherwise not. Am I the body? Does the body announce itself as βIβ?
Clearly all these are in me. All these wiped out entirely, the residual Peace is βIβ. This is samadhi, this is βIβ.
