More quotes by Ramana Maharshi

Image
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.
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
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
You do not like to suffer yourself. How can you inflict suffering on others?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You are already That which you seek.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The world is not outside you.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.
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
The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The ego's phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I'-thought rises
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True I enjoys the stillness of bliss.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
