Sri Ramana Maharshi
Everyone is aware of the eternal Self. He sees so many dying but still believes himself eternal. Because it is the Truth. Unwillingly the natural Truth asserts itself. The man is deluded by the intermingling of the conscious Self with the insentient body. This delusion must end.
How will it end?
That which is born must end. The delusion is only concomitant with the ego. It rises up and sinks. But the Reality never rises nor sinks. It remains Eternal. The master who has realized says so; the disciple hears, thinks over the words and realizes the Self. There are two ways of putting it.
The ever present Self needs no effort to be realized, Realization is already there. Illusion alone is to be removed. Some say the word from the mouth of the Master removes it instantaneously. Others say that meditation etc., are necessary for realization. Both are right; only the standpoints differ.
