Ramana Maharishi:  What is wanted for gaining the highest goal is loss of individuality. The intellect is co-extensive with individuality. Loss of individuality can only be after the disappearance of buddhi, good or bad. The question therefore does not arise.


Devotee:  But yet one must know the right thing, choose the right path, practise the right dharma and hold fast to it. Otherwise he is lost.


Ramana Maharishi: True strength accrues by keeping in the right direction without swerving from it.
