Namaste.
 
Ramana Bhagavan has clarified this in the book "Self-enquiry", #37:
 
"The reflection on the Self which is thus practised constantly
will destroy the mind, and thereafter will destroy itself like
the stick that is used to kindle the cinders burning a corpse. It
is this state that is called release."
