Excerpt
In dreamless sleep there is no world, no ego and no unhappiness. But the Self remains. In the waking state there are all these; yet there is the Self. One has only to remove the transitory happenings in order to realise the ever-present beatitude of the Self. Your nature is Bliss. Find that on which all the rest are superimposed and you then remain as the pure Self.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Ramana Maharshi, the Self — your deep awareness, what you truly are — remains present in sleep as in waking, and its nature is bliss: you only need to stop confusing yourself with what passes. Today, whenever an annoyance arises, look at it like a cloud crossing the sky, ask yourself "Who notices it?", then rest for a moment in that quiet presence.
