More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
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
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Food affects the mind. For the practice of any kind of yoga, vegetarianism is absolutely necessary since it makes the mind more pure and harmonious.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
Ramana Maharshi
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. 'I am' is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.
Ramana Maharshi
The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Have faith in God and in yourself that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
Ramana Maharshi
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi
If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.
Ramana Maharshi
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.
Ramana Maharshi
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.
