The words of Sri Ramana Maharshi: “Be as you are . . .”

“Be as you are. There is nothing to become manifest. All that is necessary is to lose the ego. That which is is always there, even now you are that. You are not apart from it. What do you wait for? The thought, ‘I have not seen,’ the expectation to see and the desire of getting something, are all the workings of the ego. Be yourself and nothing more! Be as you are. ”
