More Quotes from Ramana Maharshi:
It is not enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it.Ramana Maharshi

Ramana Maharshi
