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
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
Image
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
'I Am' is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Then all this earth shines like one house.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.

The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.
Ramana Maharshi

Ramana Maharshi

Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi

Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.
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
Image
As you are, so is the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
True silence is really endless speech.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.
