The one great Guide that should control his mind, speech and body should be the Almighty Spirit within him.

Excerpt

The one great Guide that should control his mind, speech and body should be the Almighty Spirit within him. To surrender to this Spirit and become its very embodiment is his goal. To stand on his own legs, struggle and grow by his own strength and experience and lastly to hand himself over to God by his own endeavour brings true liberation and peace.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Ramana Maharshi, each person's true guide is the Almighty Spirit living within: we grow by standing on our own feet, through our own strength and experience, and then by freely handing ourselves over to God, and this is what brings freedom and peace. Today, when facing a difficulty, first take yourself the step that is within your reach, then entrust the rest to God in one simple sentence, and let go.
