Image
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You do not like to suffer yourself. How can you inflict suffering on others?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
Turn your vision inward and then the whole world will be full of the Supreme Spirit.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.
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
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
See who is the subject and this inquiry leads you to pure Consciousness beyond the subject.
Ramana Maharshi

Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.
Ramana Maharshi
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.
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
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 world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.
