Devotee: The mind is admitted to be changing and unsteady (chanchala and asthira).
Ramana Maharishi: It is also said in the same place that the mind is to be introverted and made to merge into the Self; that the practice must be long because it is slow; and must be continued until it is totally merged in the Self.
Devotee: I want prasad, i.e., Grace, for it.
Ramana Maharishi: It is always with you. All that is required of you is not to confound yourself with the extrovert mind but to abide as the Self. That is prasad.
