More quotes by 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
Such happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.
Ramana Maharshi
The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man’s real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man’s search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end.
Ramana Maharshi
As you are, so is the world.
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
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
The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
Ramana Maharshi
Food affects the mind. For the practice of any kind of yoga, vegetarianism is absolutely necessary since it makes the mind more pure and harmonious.
Ramana Maharshi
There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana Maharshi
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
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
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Ramana Maharshi
Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.
Ramana Maharshi
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
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
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
