Sri Ramana Maharshi
18-10-1945 Morning
A visitor from Punjab asked Bhagwan, "When I meditate I feel a certain bliss at times. On such occasions should I ask myself 'Who is it that experiences this bliss?'"
Bhagavan: If it is the real bliss of the Self that is experienced i.e., if the mind has merged really in the Self, such a doubt will not arise at all. The question itself shows real bliss was not reached.
All doubts will cease only when the doubter and his source have been found. There is no use removing doubts. If we clear one doubt, another doubt will arise and there will be no end of doubts. But if the doubter is found to be really non-existent, by seeking for the source of the doubter, then all doubts will cease.
Visitor: Sometimes I hear internal sounds. What should I do when such things happen?
Bhagavan: Whatever may happen, keep up the enquiry into the Self, asking 'Who hears these sounds?' till the reality is reached.
