' Attaining the Self '...

The goal is the same for the one who meditates [on an object],, and the one who practises self- enquiry... One attains stillness through meditation,, the other through knowledge.. One strives to attain something;, the other seeks the one who strives to attain.. The former takes a longer time,, but in the end attains the Self. ----------------------- Sri Ramana Maharshi ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` This quotation is from "Be As You Are" The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi edited by David Godman Arkana, 1985
