Self
Question: In my present state, is there sufficient faith, humility and surrender in me? If not, how to make them complete?
Ramana: You are perfect and complete, so abandon the idea of incompleteness. There is nothing to be destroyed. Ahankara, the individual "I", is not a real thing. It is the mind that makes the effort and the mind is not real. Just as it is not necessary to kill a rope that one imagines to be a snake, so also there is no need to kill the mind. Knowing the form of the mind makes the mind disappear. That which is forever non-existent is already removed.
Bliss
Fixing the mind firmly on Brahman , the point of concentration, restraining sense organ in their respective centers. Holding the body steady and giving up all thoughts for it's maintenance . Attaining identity with Brahman and being one with it . Continuously drink the bliss of Brahman in your own self. Of what use of other things? They are entirely false. Empty illusion.
