No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
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.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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

Knowing the Self, God is known.
Ramana Maharshi

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
Ramana Maharshi

Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.

All are seeing God always. But they do not know it.

All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
There is nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The source of the ego is God.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
