___________________________________________________________________

As long as the sense of self-identification with body is there,

troubles and difficulties will be there.

When the desires are very strong the mind can not move towards your true state.

In that state, you can not experience peace.

When you want permanent peace you have to leave all types of desires.

There should not be any mental bonds and associations with

worldly activities and things.

There is No other Option for You.

************

Unless you develop disinterest in external activities,

Which you are doing in this world, you can not remain in your true state.

In a desire less state, accept all things as they come on their own.

If you reform your self then the whole world is reformed.

************

 

For a devotee or for a saint what they require is Mental Peace.

It Can’t be brought from outside and given in a Platter.

With proper understanding, with regular continuous practice, with a strong disinterest and detachment from worldly things, it is possible to attain it.

Self inquiry helps in great measure in this process of finding peace.

*************

In Self-inquiry the mind will be controlled in step by step

Staged manner and ultimately it gets eliminated.

If you start traveling in the path of self-inquiry , over  a period of time,

You can clearly understand the disappearance of Mind and

Existence of your True Self.

There is no doubt about this.

In that state, whether the mind is in controlled state or in eliminated state, is not a big problematic issue.

*************

A Saint knows what He is.

For him , he is also atma and others also Atma.

Then where is the question of any difficulties for him.

What ever comes, it is for body only --- all comforts and sorrows.

So I am not that body, so where is the question of any problems.

*************

Devotion is with in the scope and level of Mind.

But Knowledge is beyond the scope and reach of Mind.

It is like a light which shows the route to a traveler in his Journey.

That light shows the high raised ground or low ground,

And Pits and holes in the path.

That light helps you to lead the journey carefully,

But it will not remove the obstacles in the path.

Similarly Knowledge helps us in understanding the world,

But it won’t help us in removing our difficulties.

With Proper Understanding you can remain Peaceful.

The Understanding of Your True State.

----- Sri Ramana Maharshi.
