Jiva

"The jiva itself is Siva; Siva Himself is the jiva. It is true that the jiva is no other than Siva. When the grain is hidden inside the husk, it is called paddy; when it is dehusked, it is called rice. Similarly, so long as one is bound by karma one remains a jiva; when the bond of ignorance is broken, one shines as Siva, the Deity."

(From Bhagavan's reply to 'Self-enquiry', Q. 37)

Mukti

Ramana says: "Mukti (Liberation) is not to be gained in the future. It is there for ever, here and now.

Consciousness

When you are established in consciousness,
you don’t need to pick your company anymore.
Wherever you go, a garden will grow.
What does it mean?
It means wherever you go,
somehow without any effort on your part,
you will be meeting the right kind of beings,
even if they appear, initially, to be the wrong ones.
Your being will convert them into the right ones.
