Renunciation

A man should surrender the personal selfishness which binds him to this world. Giving up the false self is the true renunciation.

Self

Since the Self is the reality of all the gods, the meditation on the Self which is oneself is the greatest of all meditations.

Self-realization

The state of Self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.

Life

If you really pay attention to life, life will blossom within you. If you do not pay attention, you are somewhere else, then life could go wrong.

The Mind

Is it the mind that wants to kill itself? The mind cannot kill itself. So your business is to find the real nature of the mind. Then you will know. that there is no mind. When the Self is sought, the mind is nowhere. Abiding in the Self, one need not worry about the mind.

Ramana Maharishi
