Image
See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it the other thoughts will die away - the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality. We think that there is something hiding reality and that this must be destroyed before reality is gained. How ridiculous! A day will dawn when you will laugh ... at all your past efforts. That which will be the day you laugh is also here and now.
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
Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. I Am That I Am sums up the whole truth the method is summarized in Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We loosely talk of Self-realization, for lack of a better term. But how can one realize that which alone is real? All we need to do is to give up our habit of regarding as real that which is unreal. All religious practices are meant solely to help us do this.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
All that one gives to others one gives to one's self. If this truth is understood, who will not give to others?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
