Ramana Maharshi

"When the mind withdraws from external objects of sense and beholds (i.e engages in mystic introspection of) its own effulgent form, that is true wisdom."

"When the mind unceasingly investigates its own nature, it transpires that there is no such thing as mind. The mind is merely thoughts. Of all thoughts, the thought 'I' is the root. therefore the mind is only the thought 'I'."

"Where the 'I' vanished, there appears an 'I-I' by itself. This is the Infinite (Purnam). This is always the true import of the term 'I'. For we do not cease to exist even in the deepest sleep, where there is no waking 'I'."
