"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. 
  • Life is evanescent, but fools take it to be real and they get entangled in it. The sun comes and goes every day; our life time also is getting shorter and shorter along with that. Even by witnessing the old age and death of others, none realizes that it is going to be his fate also.
  • All accumulation comes to an end by depletion. Elevations end by crumbling and falling. Unions end by separation. Life ends by death.
  • As ripe fruits must inevitably fall to the ground, so much a man, once he is born on earth, inevitably perish.
  • Just as a building supported by strong pillars decays  in course of time and comes down, so do men pass away, being victims of old age and death.

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
