Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
M.: If it is anything objective the way can be shown objectively. This
is subjective.
D.: But I do not understand.
M.: What! Do you not understand that you are?
D.: Please tell me the way.
M.: Is it necessary to show the way in the interior of your own home?
This is within you.
D.: What do you advise me to do?
M.: Why should you do anything and what should you do? Only keep
quiet. Why not do so? Each one must do according to his own state.
D.: Please tell me what is suitable to me. I want to hear from you.

An English lady, a young woman, came here dressed in a Muslim sari.
She had evidently been in North India and met Dr. G. H. Mees.
Sri Bhagavan read out a stanza “The Black Sun” from the anniversary
number of The Vision, written by Swami Bharatananda.
After a few minutes, Miss J. asked: One gathers from the stanza that
one should keep on meditating until one gets merged in the state of
consciousness. Do you think it right?
M.: Yes.
D.: I go further and ask: Is it right that one should, by conscious will,
go into that state from which there is no return?
(No answer) - Dinner bell.
Afternoon
D.: What is the object of Self-Realisation?
M.: Self-Realisation is the final goal and it is the end in itself.
D.: l mean, what is the use of Self-Realisation?
M.: Why should you seek Self-Realisation? Why do you not rest content
with your present state? It is evident that you are discontented with
the present state. The discontent is at an end if you realise the Self.
