The world is not outside you.
Ramana Maharshi

Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.
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.

Love is verily the heart of all religions.

There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.

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
Image
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
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.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Turn your vision inward and then the whole world will be full of the Supreme Spirit.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
