From Ramana - just abida in the Self

I must remember and remind myself the following 
(a) The default state is the Self (or abiding in the Self) and the mind is the impermanent manifestation that comes and goes. We are already complete and perfect. 
(b) That the H is a fiction created by the mind. Its stupid to now live on that basis and shift base to Self.
Ramana: You are perfect and complete, so abandon the idea of incompleteness. There is nothing to be destroyed. Ahankara, the individual "I", is not a real thing. It is the mind that makes the effort and the mind is not real. Just as it is not necessary to kill a rope that one imagines to be a snake, so also there is no need to kill the mind. Knowing the form of the mind makes the mind disappear. That which is forever non-existent is already removed.
