More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
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
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
Ramana Maharshi
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Ramana Maharshi
The search Who am I...ends in the annihilation of the illusory I and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one's hand.
Ramana Maharshi
I see only what you see, but I notice what I see.
Ramana Maharshi
Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.
Ramana Maharshi
An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.
Ramana Maharshi
Doubts arise because of an absence of surrender.
Ramana Maharshi
Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death remembrance of it is rebirth.
Ramana Maharshi
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
Ramana Maharshi
Such happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.
Ramana Maharshi
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Turn your vision inward and then the whole world will be full of the Supreme Spirit.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Meditation depends upon the strength of mind. It must be unceasing even when one is engaged in work. Particular time for it is meant for novices.
Ramana Maharshi
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
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
