Sri Ramana Maharshi
3-3-1946 evening
A visitor asked Bhagavan, “When we get a dream, we emerge out of it without any effort on our part. If this life of ours is a dream, as it is said to be, then how is it that we have to make efforts and are called upon to make efforts to end this dream and wake into jnana?”
B: We do not know about sleep or dream. But we do know about the present state, the waking state. Let us try and understand it. Then all will become clear to us. Who is it that undergoes sleep, dream and waking states? You say we must get out of ignorance and wake into jnana. Who is it that has the ignorance, and ignorance of what? When you enquire into the source of "I", all doubts will be set at rest."
