Ramana Maharshi: "True, strong, fresh forever stands The Self.  From this in truth spring forth the phantom body  and phantom world.  When this delusion is destroyed and not a speck  remains, the Sun of Self shines bright and real in  the vast Heart-expanse.  Darkness dies, afflictions end, and bliss wells up."

Atma Vidya was written by Sri Ramana Maharshi.  Muruganar was instrumental in the creation of this book. 

 Muruganar wanted to recast a popular Tamil poem that begins,  “Lo, very difficult is Self-Knowledge.”  This did not express what Ramana taught and experienced directly, and Muruganar wanted Ramana's version. Muruganar started:  "Lo, very easy is Self-Knowledge, Lo, very easy indeed." He asked Ramana to finish it.  Bhagavan’s response was to write these five verses called Atma Vidya or “Self Knowledge.”  

Here's the first verse 

Lo, very easy is Self-Knowledge,  Lo, very easy indeed.  Even for the most infirm  So real is the Self  That compared with it the amlak  In one's hand appears a mere illusion. 

Ramana Maharshi: "If it is said that Liberation is of three kinds, with form or without form or with and without form, then let me tell you that the extinction of three forms of Liberation is the only true Liberation."
