Liberation...

"Distracted as we are by various thoughts, if we will continually contemplate
the Self, which is itself God, this single thought will in due course eliminate
all distraction and will itself ultimately vanish. The pure consciousness
which alone finally remains is God. This is Liberation.
To stay constantly centered on one's own pure Self is the acme of yoga, wisdom,
and all other forms of spiritual practice.
Even though the mind wanders restlessly, involved in external matters, and so is
forgetful of its own Self, one should remain alert and remember;
the body is not 'I.'
Who am I? Inquire in this way turning the mind backward to its primal state. The
inquiry 'who am I?' is the only method of putting an end to all misery and
ushering in Supreme Beatitude.
Whatever may be said and however phrased, this is the whole truth
in a nutshell."
--Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi--
