Image
The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Then all this earth shines like one house.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The search Who am I...ends in the annihilation of the illusory I and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one's hand.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Speaking of Self-realizatio n is a delusion. It is only because people have been under the delusion that the non-Self is the Self and the unreal the Real that they have to be weaned out of it by the other delusion called Self-realizatio n because actually the Self always is the Self and there is no such thing as realizing it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To ask the mind to kill itself is like making the thief the policeman. He will go with you and pretend to catch the thief, but nothing will be gained. So you must turn inward and see where the mind rises from, and then it will cease to exist.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Silence is never-ending speech. Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. Silence is ever speaking.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.
