Excerpts from Reflections Oct-Dec 2009

         “Everybody will go after only what gives happiness to him. Thinking that happiness comes from some object or other, you go after it. See whence all happiness, including the happiness you regard as coming from sense objects, really comes. You will understand all happiness comes only from the Self, and then you will always abide in the Self.”

— Boundless Wisdom of Sri Ramana Maharshi
(from Day by Day with Bhagavan)

         “When you meditate, when you inquire, discern and distinguish between what is merely the body and what is your Self. As Sri Ramana often pointed out, the ‘I am the body’ conception is the crux of ignorance. Indeed the elimination of that misconception of, ‘I am the body,’ ‘I am in the body,’ and ‘I have the attributes of the body,’ tends to bring about the dissolution of the ego, because the ego is left with no form to call its own.”

       “Finding out what is true, what is real, is essential and has a lot to do with the ultimate or highest purpose of life. It has a lot to do with the source of all the things that are good, beautiful, and virtuous... Some call that source God, some call it the Self, and some call it Brahman. There are many other terms for it as well. If you find out deeply within yourself, in full experience, what that source is, you will be fulfilling the purpose of life, and you will find a happiness that never comes to an end.”

— Meditation Event, June 19, 2009

       “The humble recognition that one is in need of Self-Knowledge motivates the introspective practice of Self-inquiry. Earnest application of the spiritual instruction within yields the joyful fruit of peace and happiness. The freedom for which you yearn is within you”
