How will the mind become quiescent?)
Maharishi Raman; by the inquiry “Who am I “? The thought “Who am I”? Will destroy all other thoughts, and like the stick used for stirring the burning pyre, it will itself in the end get destroyed. Then there will arise Self-realization.
Action dedicated to God and without desire purifies the mind. It aids liberation; Maharishi Raman.
What is mind? If one searches to find out, then there would be no separate entity as the mind. this is a straight path; Maharishi Ramana.
Even though both the mind and the world rise and set together, the mind lights the world. The source from which the mind and world rise and into which they set is the reality ( self or ataman ) that doesn’t rise or subside: Maharishi Ramana.
Comments:
Our self, which is an observer of our body and mind, is reality. Our mind is in front of us. We can see our minds, and we say, please tell me again, my mind, not hearing it was thinking of another person. So you can see your mind because it is different from the you(self ). When the mind goes out, we can see the world, and when it is inward, then the world disappears. In a deep sleep, there is no mind and, therefore, no world. In deep meditation or samadhi, there is no mind and world also. Only bliss shines here.
Your effort is not to allow yourself to be distracted by others thoughts : Maharishi Ramana.
Comments: This is essential when watching your thoughts that others may not be allowed to come into your mind. As J. Krishnamurti used to say in his public talks that, meditation is ending the thoughts. It is necessary.
Withdrawing all thoughts from sense objects one should remain fixed in steady non-objective enquiry. Maharishi Ramana.
What I want to explain in this post what is the teaching of Vedanta; it is the teaching of Upnishdas. Upnishdas are that part of vadas
These are fundamental teachings of the Hindu Vedas as have been described in Bhagavad Gita and other Upnishdas. In Vedas, there are some wrong things have been added also. How can we misuse mantras for harmful effects on someone? But real knowledge of the self has been described in Upnishdas. This is the knowledge of Vedanta.
I will give some ideas of this knowledge.
1. ‘I’ is the only real thing, it is our being or self. But my Is illusion.
Understand that my body, my mind, my son, my wife, my money, my property this is different from me or ‘I’. It had been described in the 13th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita very briefly. Now when I will leave my body. I can’t take it with me ‘ my ‘ I will leave here. But ‘ I’ will remain forever because ‘ I am ‘ is the deathless spirit. There are two parts to this knowledge. First, we have to understand the knowledge by theory and then the second part is of meditation. With this practice and by the grace of the Lord. If we can work very hard on this subject which I said something so one day you will understand the importance and beauty of it. It’s a vast knowledge so I will explain It with very keen interest in other posts.
Men are attached to objects and have endless thoughts due to the strength of latent tendencies finding it difficult to control the mind; Maharishi Ramana.
This is the first Chapter entitled ‘On the importance of upasana’
These questions were asked by Ganapti Muni. The questions are 8 and i will write one question and one answer by Maharishi Ramana.
Men attached to the objects and having endless thoughts due to strength of latent tendencies find it difficult to control the mind.; Maharishi Ramana.
Commons; In meditation mind should be silent but if we are attached to so many worldly desires it will be not easy to still the mind.
