Q: I long for bhakti. I want more of this longing. Even realization does not matter for me. Let me be strong in my longing.
~ Ramana Maharshi:
If the longing is there, realization will be forced on you even if you do not want it. Long for it intensely so that the mind melts in devotion.After camphor burns away no residue is left. The mind is the camphor. When it has resolved itself into the Self without leaving even the slightest trace behind, it is realization of the Self.
– Sri Ramana Maharshi
