Sri Ramana Maharshi
Does knowing myself imply knowing God?
Yes. God is within you.
Then what stands in the way of my knowing myself or God?
Your wandering mind and perverted ways.
I am a weak creature. But why does not the superior power of the Lord within remove the obstacles?
Yes, He will, if you have the aspiration.
Why should He not created the aspiration in me?
Then surrender yourself.
If I surrender myself, is no prayer to God necessary?
Surrender itself is a mighty prayer.
But is it not necessary to understand His nature before one surrenders oneself?
If you believe that God will do for you all the things you want Him to do, then surrender yourself to Him. Otherwise let God alone and know yourself.
Has God or Guru any solicitude for me?
If you seek either- they are not really two but one and identical - rest assured that they are seeking you with a solicitude greater than you can ever imagine.
