More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
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
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
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
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
Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
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
Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death remembrance of it is rebirth.
Ramana Maharshi
The seat of Realization is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart.
Ramana Maharshi
The mind turned inwards is the Self turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.
Ramana Maharshi
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
I see only what you see, but I notice what I see.
Ramana Maharshi
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
As you are, so is the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.
Ramana Maharshi
The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
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
God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God.
