Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q. My mind is very unsteady. What should I do?
Fix your attention on any single thing and try to hold on to it. All will be right.
Q. I find concentration difficult.
Go on practicing. Your concentration will be as easy as breathing. That will be the crown of your achievements.
Q. Is it possible to get a vision of God?
Yes. You see this and that. Why not see God? Only you must know what God is. All are seeing God always. But they do not know it. You find out what God is. People see, yet see not, because they know not God.
Q. Should I not go on with repetition of sacred syllables (mantra japam) when I worship images?
Mental japa is very good. That helps meditation. Mind gets identified with the repetition and then you get to know what worship (puja) really is - the losing of one's individuality in that which is worshipped.
Q. Is the Universal Soul (paramatma) always different from us?
That is the common belief, but it is wrong. Think of Him as not different from you, and then you achieve identity of Self with God.
Q. Will not a wise master be a great help in pointing out the way?
Yes. If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
