Ramana says
Ramana says: "The Jnani's (Self-Realized Souls) mind is known only to the jnani. One must be a jnani oneself in order to understand another jnani. However the peace of mind which permeates the saint's atmosphere is the only means by which the seeker understands the greatness of the saint. His words or actions or appearance are no indication of his greatness, for they are ordinarily beyond the comprehension of common people."
Be as u r
Q: You talk of being. Being what ?
Sri Ramana Maharshi :
Your duty is to be and not to be this or that.
`I am that I am' sums up the whole truth.
The method is summed up in the words `Be still'.
What does stillness mean?
It means destroy yourself.
Because any form or shape is the cause of trouble.
Give up the notion that `I am so and so'.
All that is required to realize the Self is to be still.
What can be easier than that ?
Hence atmavidya (Self-knowledge] is the easiest to attain.
The truth of oneself alone is worthy to be scrutinised and known. Taking it as the target of one's attention,
one should keenly know it in the Heart.
This knowledge of oneself will be revealed only to the consciousness which is silent,
clear and free from the activity of the agitated and suffering mind.
Know that the consciousness
which always shines in the Heart as the formless Self, `I',
and which is known by one's being still without thinking about anything as existent or non-exist,
alone is the perfect reality.
~ Be as you are
Self realised Seer
Greatness of Sankaracharyas ( Sringeri)
The Self-realised Seer is unperturbed by actions, their fruits and all the activities in the empirical plane. He however can guide humanity along the right path. - Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal

CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI
CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI:
'GO DEEPLY INTO THE SENSE OF 'I'
Q: People who follow other paths sometimes experience samadhi states.
Will they also have the experience of sphurana? (a light-experience which can come before the samadhi experience)
Annamalai Swami: If one unceasingly follows the paths of japa or yoga, the mind will merge eventually in the sphurana. At the time of merging the experience will come.
This sphurana is the light or the radiance of the ‘I am’. When you are close to merging with the real ‘I’ you feel its emanations. This real ‘I’ is the real name and form of God. The first and most accurate name of God is ‘I’. The awareness ‘I am’ is the original and primordial mantra.
Ramana quotes
Ramana says: "A child and a Jnani (Self-Realized Soul) are similar in a way. Incidents interest a child only so long as they last. It ceases to think of them after they have passed away. So then, it is apparent that they do not leave any impression on the child and it is not affected by them mentally. So it is with a jnani."
