notes 4.5

Nurtureoneslife:

When we quest within our mind ‘Who am I?’ and reach the Heart, 

‘I’ topples down and immediately another entity will reveal itself proclaiming ‘I-I’. 

Even though it also emerges saying ‘I’, it does not connote the ego, but the One Perfect Existence.

- Sri Ramana Maharshi

Keep quiet

No search

How does one reach the Supreme State?

M: By renouncing all lesser desires. As long as you are pleased with the lesser, you cannot have the highest. Whatever pleases you, keeps you back. 

Until you realise the unsatisfactoriness of 

everything, its transiency and limitation, and collect your energies in one great longing, even the first step is not made.

On the other hand, the integrity of the desire for the Supreme is by itself a call from the Supreme. Nothing, physical or mental, can give you freedom. You are free once you understand that your bondage is of your own making and you cease forging the chains that bind you.

"Even thinking "I am Peace" disturbs this peace, so just be quiet, be as you are."

Kindness to Jivas

The Jnani, who has saved himself, alone can do good to others. 

Others, 

who have not dispelled the darkness of ignorance, are like the blind to the blind.

When this four-line verse was shown to Sri Bhagavan, He composed a two-line verse of His own conveying the same meaning, which is given below.

B15. Only one who is saved can save other jivas, whereas others are like the blind leading the blind.
