Devotee: How to practice meditation?
Ramana Maharishi: Keep off thoughts.
Devotee: How to reconcile work with meditation?
Ramana Maharishi: Who is the worker? Let him who works ask the question. You are always the Self. You are not the mind. It is the mind which raises these questions. Work proceeds, always in the presence of the Self only. Work is no hindrance to realisation. It is the mistaken identity of the worker that troubles one. Get rid of the false identity.
