Poorna …perfection.

DEVOTEE: How is the mind to be stilled?

SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI:
Looking at the mind with the mind, or fixing the mind in the Self, brings the mind under control of the Self.

DEVOTEE: Is there any yoga, i.e., a process for it?
MAHARSHI: Vichara (investigation) alone will do.

DEVOTEE: How is Poorna Brahman to be attained? What is the method best  suited to a grihasta?
MAHARSHI:
You have already said poorna, i.e., perfection.
Are you apart from Poorna?
If apart from it, will it be poorna?
If not apart how does the question arise?
The knowledge that Brahman is poorna and that  you are not apart from the same is the finality.
See it and you will  find that you are not a grihasta or any limited being.

DEVOTEE: What are the tatvas?
MAHARSHI:
Knowledge of poorna Brahman will elucidate the other matters automatically.
