Sri Ramana Maharshi

Forgetting the Self is death. Remembering it is life. You desire eternal life. Why?

Because the present life in relativity is unbearable.

Why is it so? Because it is not your nature.

Our True Nature

You are in truth the pure Spirit; but you identify it with a body which is a projection of the mind, an objectified thought, and the mind in its turn has originated from the pure Spirit.

Moreover, what is life? It is Existence (as Consciousness) and that is yourself. That is the true life and it is eternal (beyond time). Life in the body is conditioned life. But you are life unconditioned. You will recover your true nature as unconditioned life, if the idea I-am-the-body dies.

The above teaching of Sri Ramana Maharshi has been taken from the book: Maha Yoga.
