More quotes by 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
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The solution to your problem is to see who has it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.

Knowing the Self, God is known.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The ego's phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I'-thought rises
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
The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
