Image
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The source of the ego is God.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
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
Image
All are seeing God always. But they do not know it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
I see only what you see, but I notice what I see.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
