Devotee: Does Bhagavan believe that the Hill is hollow, etc.?
Ramana Maharishi: Everything depends on the viewpoint of the individual. You yourself have seen hermitages, etc., on this Hill in a vision. You have described such in your book.
Devotee: Yes. It was on the surface of the Hill. The vision was within me.
Ramana Maharishi: That is exactly so. Everything is within one’s Self. To see the world, there must be a spectator. There could be no world without the Self. The Self is all-comprising. In fact Self is all. There is nothing besides the Self.
Devotee: What is the mystery of this Hill?
Ramana Maharishi: Just as you have said in Secret Egypt, “The mystery of the pyramid is the mystery of the Self,” so also the mystery of this Hill is the mystery of the Self
