Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
M.: Peace is always present. Get rid of the disturbances to Peace.
This Peace is the Self.
The thoughts are the disturbances. When free from them, you are
Infinite Intelligence, i.e., the Self. There is Perfection and Peace.
D.: The world must have a future.
M.: Do you know what it is in the present? The world and all together
are the same, now as well as in the future.
D.: The world was made by the operation of Intelligence on ether
and atoms.
M.: All of them are reduced to Isvara and Sakti. You are not now apart
from Them. They and you are one and the same Intelligence.
After a few minutes one lady asked: “Do you ever intend to go to
America?”
M.: America is just where India is (i.e., in the plane of thought).
Another (Spanish) lady: They say that there is a shrine in the
Himalayas entering which one gets some strange vibrations which
heal all diseases. Is it possible?
M.: They speak of some shrine in Nepal and also in other parts of
the Himalayas where the people are said to become unconscious
on entering them.

Muruganar asked what prajnana is.
M.: Prajnana (Absolute Knowledge) is that from which vijnana
(relative knowledge) proceeds.
D.: In the state of vijnana one becomes aware of the samvit (cosmic
intelligence). But is that suddha samvit aware by itself without the
aid of antahkaranas (inner organs)?
M.: It is so, even logically.
D.: Becoming aware of samvit in jagrat by vijnana, prajnana is not
found self-shining. If so, it must be found in sleep.
M.: The awareness is at present through antahkaranas. Prajnana is
always shining even in sleep. If one is continuously aware in jagrat
the awareness will continue in sleep also.
