The Fact Is That You Are Not

How Does One Get Rid Of Fear? Ramana: What Is Fear? It Is Only A Thought. If There Is Anything Besides The Self There Is Reason To Fear. Who Sees Things Separate From The Self? First The Ego Arises And Sees Objects As External. If The Ego Does Not Rise, The Self Alone Exists And There Is Nothing External. For Anything External To Oneself Implies The Existence Of The Seer Within. Seeking It There Will Eliminate Doubt And Fear. Not Only Fear, All Other Thoughts Centred Round The Ego Will Disappear Along With It.

There Is No Reaching The Self. If Self Were To Be Reached, It Would Mean That The Self Is Not Here And Now But That It Is Yet To Be Obtained. What Is Got Afresh Will Also Be Lost. So It Will Be Impermanent. What Is Not Permanent Is Not Worth Striving For. So I Say The Self Is Not Reached. You Are The Self; You Are Already That.

What Comes Will Also Go. What Always Is Will Alone Remain.

Transforming Yourself Is A Means Of Giving Light To The Whole World.

Surrender Is To Give Oneself Up To The Original Cause Of One's Being.
