Ramana Maharshi

And that is how a master is made.

Give a quarter of an hour a day for this practice.

Try to keep the mind unshakably fixed on that which sees.

It is inside yourself.

Do not expect to find that that is something definite on which the mind can be fixed easily.

it will not be so.

Though it takes years to find that, the result of this concentration will be seen in four or five months time.

In all sorts of unconscious clairvoyance, in peace of mind, in power to deal with troubles,

Empower all around.

Always unconscious power.

I have given you this teaching in the same words as the Master gives to intimate students.

From now onwards let your whole thought in meditation be not on the act of seeing nor on what you see but immovably on that which sees.

Gaze at your own real nature.

It is immaterial whether the eyes are open or closed.

Everywhere there is only the one.

Meditate on the I that is within you.

It is the self.

When you attain self-knowledge, there will no longer be any ideas about the world.

When you are sitting in a room, whether the windows are open or closed, you are the same person in the same state.

In the same way, if you abide in the reality, it is all the same whether the eyes are open or closed.
