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.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
Ramana Maharshi
The mind turned inwards is the Self turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.
Ramana Maharshi
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is giving oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining this source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
Ramana Maharshi
If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.
Ramana Maharshi
Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.
Ramana Maharshi
Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.
Ramana Maharshi
Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.
Ramana Maharshi
The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.
Ramana Maharshi
Doubts arise because of an absence of surrender.
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
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
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
Ramana Maharshi
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
Ramana Maharshi
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
