How is the mind to be eliminated or relative consciousness transcended?

Devotee:  How is the mind to be eliminated or relative consciousness transcended?


Ramana Maharishi:  The mind is by nature restless. Begin liberating it from its restlessness; give it peace; make it free from distractions; train it to look inward; make this a habit. This is done by ignoring the external world and removing the obstacles to peace of mind.
