everything is you

yes "you are the world" or "all is one" made to sound glorious in spiritual texts - it means there is no escape in this very long dream - there is only your mind - until you lose it - then you must hope the "caretakers" will not ignore the endless needs of the body

I'm not sure all the sages say it's beautiful. I'm not sure what all the sages even say... haha
I don't recall Ramana Maharshi saying "it's beautiful"... he was just giving out pointers to help people deal with it

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

Right. It's within. The world is actually our own projection. I think the word "happiness" here means "equanimity" or "balance". He was always the same even keeled old fart, walkin around in a diaper, petting his cow, Lakshmi...(he said she was enlightened)🙂
