Impurities of limitation, ignorance and desire place obstacles in the way of meditation. How to conquer them?

Devotee:  Impurities of limitation, ignorance and desire (anava, mayika, and kamya) place obstacles in the way of meditation. How to conquer them?


Ramana Maharishi:  Not to be swayed by them.



Devotee:  Grace is necessary.


Ramana Maharishi:  Yes, Grace is both the beginning and the end. Introversion is due to Grace: Perseverance is Grace; and Realisation is Grace. That is the reason for the statement: Mamekam saranam vraja (only surrender to Me). If one has entirely surrendered oneself is there any part left to ask for Grace? He is swallowed up by Grace.
