THE SUPPORTIVE TEACHINGS
SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI

Since we know the world , we must concede for both a common Source , single but with the power of seeming many . The picture of names and forms , the onlooker , the screen , the light that illumines โ all these are verily It .
Self-Realization is Bliss ; it is realizing the Self as the limitless Spiritual Eye .
Q : Having once experienced the Supreme Bliss , how can one stray away from it ? RAMANA : Oh YES ! It happens . The predisposition adhering to one from time immemorial will draw one out and so Ignorance overtakes one . Q : What are the obstacles to remaining steady in unbroken Bliss? How can they be overcome ?
The Heart is used in the Vedas and the scriptures to denote the place whence the notion " I " springs . Does it spring only from the fleshy ball ? It springs within us somewhere right in the middle of our being .
" I " should be destroyed . Self is not to be reached . Is there any moment when Self is not ? It is not new . Be as you are . What is new cannot be Permanent . What is Real must always Exist .
" I am the all-blissful Self " Is worship as with words and flowers . True circumambulation is the thought " In ME the million universes roll "
