| Mr. MacIver, a resident devotee, asked Ramana Maharshi if he might go to Switzerland where a Guru was inviting him. Sri Bhagavan said: Some Force brought him here and the same is taking him to Europe. Let him always remember that the world is only a projection of the mind, and the mind is in the Self. Wherever the body may move, the mind must be kept under control. The body moves, but not the Self. The world is within the Self, that is all./Talks with Ramana Maharshi |

The world is within the Self
And the Self is within the world. 
THE ONE SELF NEVER MOVES,
YET IS TOO SWIFT FOR THE MIND.
THE SENSES CANNOT REACH IT,
YET IT IS EVER BEYOND THEIR GRASP.
REMAINING STILL, IT OUTSTRIPS ALL ACTIVITY,
YET IN IT RESTS THE BREATH OF ALL THAT MOVES.
IT MOVES, YET MOVES NOT.
IT IS FAR, YET IT IS NEAR.
IT IS WITHIN ALL THIS,
AND YET WITHOUT ALL THIS.
HE WHO SEES EVERYTHING AS NOTHING BUT THE SELF,
AND THE SELF IN EVERYTHING HE SEES,
SUCH A SEER WITHDRAWS FROM NOTHING.
FOR THE ENLIGHTENED, ALL THAT EXISTS
IS NOTHING BUT THE SELF,
SO HOW COULD ANY SUFFERING OR DELUSION
CONTINUE FOR THOSE WHO KNOW THIS ONENESS?
HE WHO PERVADES ALL, IS RADIANT,
UNBOUNDED AND UNTAINTED,
INVULNERABLE AND PURE.
HE IS THE KNOWER, THE ONE MIND,
OMNIPRESENT AND SELF-SUFFICIENT.
HE HAS HARMONIZED DIVERSITY
THROUGHOUT ETERNAL TIME.
AUM
THAT IS THE WHOLE.
THIS IS THE WHOLE.
FROM WHOLENESS EMERGES WHOLENESS.
WHOLENESS COMING FROM WHOLENESS,
WHOLENESS STILL REMAINS
~ Isha Upanishad [I Am That]
