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
Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
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

Ramana Maharshi
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
There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.
Ramana Maharshi
Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.
Ramana Maharshi
Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
Ramana Maharshi
Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.
Ramana Maharshi
Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart, or the Seat of Consciousness, it is all the same.
Ramana Maharshi
He whose pure mind turns inward and searches whence does this 'I' arise, knows the Self and merges in You, the Lord, as a river into the sea.
Ramana Maharshi
One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, 'Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!' This should be one's practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.
