Ramana Maharshi

Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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.

The source of the ego is God.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
Ramana Maharshi

See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it the other thoughts will die away - the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.
Ramana Maharshi

The search Who am I...ends in the annihilation of the illusory I and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one's hand.
Ramana Maharshi

The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.
Ramana Maharshi

Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.
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
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi

That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real
