More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real
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
The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.
Ramana Maharshi
Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.
Ramana Maharshi
If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself
Ramana Maharshi
Love is verily the heart of all religions.
Ramana Maharshi
If you approach the ocean with a cup, you can only take away a cupful if you approach it with a bucket you can take away a bucketful.
Ramana Maharshi
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
Ramana Maharshi
The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Ramana Maharshi
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death remembrance of it is rebirth.
Ramana Maharshi
This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.
Ramana Maharshi
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
Ramana Maharshi
Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.
Ramana Maharshi
If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.
Ramana Maharshi
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.
Ramana Maharshi
Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.
