Time and space always change, but there is something which is eternal and changeless. For example, the world and time, past or future, nothing exists for us in sleep. But we exist. Let us try to find out that which is changeless and which always exists.

Quote Summary
In this quote, Ramana Maharshi reflects upon the transient nature of time and space, asserting that despite their constant changes, there exists something eternal and unchanging. He invites us to explore the state of existence during sleep, where the world and time hold no meaning, yet our own existence persists. Maharshi encourages us to delve into the quest of discovering the changeless aspect within ourselves that eternally exists.
Quote by Ramana Maharshi
Philosopher, Indian
