The mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True I enjoys the stillness of bliss.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
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
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
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
The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
If one watches whence the notion 'I' arises, the mind gets absorbed there that is tapas. When a mantra is repeated, if one watches whence that mantra sound arises, the mind gets absorbed there that is tapas.
Ramana Maharshi
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
By whatever path you go, you will have to lose yourself in the one. Surrender is complete only when you reach the stage `Thou art all' and `Thy will be done'.
Ramana Maharshi
The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Ramana Maharshi
When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home.
Ramana Maharshi
Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.
Ramana Maharshi
The world is not outside you.
Ramana Maharshi
Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness
Ramana Maharshi
There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.
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
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
Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation depends upon the strength of mind. It must be unceasing even when one is engaged in work. Particular time for it is meant for novices.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
