Image
Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.

Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.

I see only what you see, but I notice what I see.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, 'Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!' This should be one's practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The seat of Realization is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart.
Ramana Maharshi

Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.

Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.
