Very interesting to me... the "I"...2 different takes by 2 teacher/masters.

Ramana Maharshi says the real purpose of spiritual practice is the dissolution of the "I".
(He is very firm about this.)

Ramakrishna says as long as the I-sense lasts...true Knowledge and Liberation are impossible.
However, since so few can obtain Union and free themselves from this "I"...
this "I" will always return to you ...like the new shoots return
when you cut down a poplar tree...so,
"let it remain 'I' the servant".

And there you have both...

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
