You are as you are and yet you speak of a forest and ways.

Devotee:  “I seem to be wandering in a forest because I do not find the way.”


Ramana Maharishi:  This idea of being in a forest must go. It is such ideas which are at the root of the trouble.


Devotee:  But I do not find the way.


Ramana Maharishi:   Where is the forest and where is the way unless they are in you? You are as you are and yet you speak of a forest and ways.
