“We walk on this ground. While doing so, are we constantly considering at every step whether we should raise one leg after the other or stop at some point? No, walking is done automatically. The same is the case with inhaling and exhaling. No special effort is needed to inhale or exhale. The same is the case for all of this life.”
–Ramana Maharshi
