Give up the idea that samaskaras are infinite and all samskaras will disappear at once

Devotee: But samskaras are infinite and eternal - from beginningless time.

Ramana Maharishi: This itself is a samskara. Give up that idea and all samskaras will disappear at once. That is visranti (repose), santi (peace). Peace is ever present. But you hold it down and rise over it and thus disturb it. Then you say, “I want Peace”.

Devotee: Will Peace be gradual?

Ramana Maharishi: Yes. Make the mind gradually still (Sanaissanaih uparamet) says the Bhagavad Gita.
