"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

Thus Spake Sri Rama

The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana. 
  • As a gem vanishes from the grip of an ill-starred person, the bird of youth flies away from the body in no time.
  • A brute of a man is the fittest description of a person who is elated and fascinated by youth that lasts not.
  • O Sadhu, only they are to be reverenced and only they deserve to be called men, who have crossed the crisis of youth with ease.
  • To cross an ocean infested with crocodiles would be found easy when compared with passing through the period of youth so full of evil and swelling currents of lust.

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
