Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
Ramana Maharshi
You are already That which you seek.
Ramana Maharshi
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi
The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
Ramana Maharshi
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
Ramana Maharshi
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Have faith in God and in yourself that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
Ramana Maharshi
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
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
Then all this earth shines like one house.
Ramana Maharshi
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
There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.
Ramana Maharshi
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
He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
Ramana Maharshi
The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.
Ramana Maharshi
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.
