Every month the disciple faithfully sent his Master an account of his progress. In the first month he wrote: "I feel an expansion of consciousness and experience my oneness with the Universe." The master glanced at the note and threw it away.
Ramesh Balsekar
Let the mind do its work; you have only to be sure you are not that. If you feel that you are getting lost with the mind, remember that consciousness is always there prior to mind.
Nisargadatta
Holding fast to the Self, without allowing the mind to rise and create an independent “I”, is the highest devotion and the truest surrender. Let the ego dissolve into its source; that is all that is required.
~ Ramana Maharshi
