You are now thinking that you are the mind or the body which are both changing and transient. But you are unchanging and eternal.

Devotee:  I was reading Sri Bhagavata; it says that Bliss can be had only by the dust of the Master’s feet. I pray for Grace.


Ramana Maharishi:  What is Bliss but your own being? You are not apart from Being which is the same as Bliss. You are now thinking that you are the mind or the body which are both changing and transient. But you are unchanging and eternal. That is what you should know.


Devotee:  It is darkness and I am ignorant.


Ramana Maharishi:  This ignorance must go. Again, who says ‘I am ignorant’? He must be the witness of ignorance. That is what you are. Socrates said, “I know that I do not know.” Can it be ignorance? It is wisdom.
