Sri Ramana Maharshi
- Realization of the Self is the greatest help that can be rendered to humanity. Therefore, the saints are said to be helpful, though they remain in forests. The help is imperceptible but is still there. A saint helps the whole of humanity, unknown to the latter.
- Pure Consciousness is indivisible, it is without parts. It has no form and shape, no within and without. There is no right or left for it. Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all; and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate truth.
- Pure Consciousness wholly unrelated to the physical body and transcending the mind is a matter of direct experience. Sages know their bodiless, eternal Existence just as the layman knows his bodily existence. But the experience of Consciousness can be bodily awareness as well as without it. In the bodiless experience of Pure Consciousness the Sage is beyond time and space, and no question about the position of the Heart can then at all arise.
Thus Spake Ramana
