Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q. How to discern the ego from the Perfect 'I-I'?
M. That which rises and falls is the transient 'I'. That which has neither origin nor end is the permanent 'I-I' consciousness.
Will continuous thought on the Self make the mind more and more refined so that it will not think of anything but the highest?
There is the peaceful mind which is the supreme. When the same becomes restless, it is afflicted by thoughts. Mind is only the dynamic power (sakti) of the Self.
Are the sheaths material and different from the Self?
There is no difference between matter and spirit. Modern science admits that all matter is energy. Energy is power or force (sakti). Therefore all are resolved in Siva and Sakti i.e., the Self and the Mind. The kosas are mere appearances. There is no reality in them as such.
