Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi

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.

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
Image
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
Image
Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
