Sri Ramana Maharshi
The Self alone exists; the pictures come and go. If you hold the Self, you will not be deceived by the appearance of the pictures. Nor does it matter at all if the pictures appear or disappear.
If one knows that without the Seer there is nothing to be seen, one is not deluded. The jnani knows that the screen, the pictures, and the sight thereof are but the Self. With the pictures the Self is in its manifest form; without the pictures It remains in the unmanifest form. To the jnani it is quite immaterial if the Self is in the one form or the other. He is always the Self.
