Devotee: Is it not possible to get a vision of God?
Ramana Maharishi: Yes. You see this and that. Why not see God? Only you must know what God is. All are seeing God always. But they do not know it. You find out what God is. People see, yet see not, because they know not God.

Devotee: Is the Universal Soul (Paramatma) always different from us?
Ramana Maharishi: That is the common belief, but it is wrong. Think of Him as not different from you, and then you achieve identity of Self with God.
Devotee: Is it not the Advaita doctrine to become one with God?
Ramana Maharishi: Where is becoming? The thinker is all the while the Real. He ultimately realises the fact. Sometimes we forget our identities, as in sleep and dreams. But God is perpetual consciousness.
