Sri Ramana Maharshi
6-6-1946
In the afternoon G.V.S. asked, “What is the difference between manasa japa and dhyana?”
Bhagavan: They are the same. In both, the mind is concentrated on one thing, the mantra or the Self. Mantra, japa, dhyana — are only different names. So long as they require effort we call them by these names, but when the Self is realized this goes on without any effort and what was the means becomes the goal.
