Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
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
The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man’s real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man’s search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end.

Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
Ramana Maharshi

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
As you are, so is the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
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
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
