Sri Ramana Maharshi
- True siddhi is one's own natural state, in which one is the real Self, and which is won by becoming aware of that Self, which we already are; other siddhis are like those that are won in a dream. Does anything gained in a dream remain true on waking? Can the sage that has cast off falsehood by becoming fixed in the Real be deluded by them?
- To one who is firmly established in the blissful natural state, beyond change, and therefore is not aware of difference, who does not think 'I am one, and he is another', who is there, other than the Self? If anyone says anything about him, what matters it? For him it is just the same as if it was said by himself.
- He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it, and goes through innumerable births, is just like one who wanders all over the world in a dream; and then realizing the Self would only be like the waking up from dream wanderings.
- One who asks himself, 'who am I?' and 'where am I?' though existing all the while as the Self, is like the drunken man who enquires about his own identity and whereabouts.
