"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Chitta Shuddhi

Sri Ramana Maharshi

A visitor asked about Karma Yoga. Sri Bhagavan said that the man should act as an actor on the stage. In all actions there is the 'sat' as the underlying principle. "Remember it and act." He asked about the purity of mind - chitta shuddhi. Sri Bhagavan said that chitta shuddhi is to engage in one thought only to the exclusion of all others. It is otherwise called one-pointedness of the mind. The practice of meditation purifies the mind.

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
