Image
The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.

Image
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice it is virtue, divine union and devotion it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth it is grace it is the state of divine silence it is the deathless death it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
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
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
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You do not like to suffer yourself. How can you inflict suffering on others?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real
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
'I Am' is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality. We think that there is something hiding reality and that this must be destroyed before reality is gained. How ridiculous! A day will dawn when you will laugh ... at all your past efforts. That which will be the day you laugh is also here and now.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Such happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi

Love is verily the heart of all religions.
