Image
Turn your vision inward and then the whole world will be full of the Supreme Spirit.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.
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
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
Image
The solution to your problem is to see who has it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Why should we... constantly worry ourselves... as to what should be done and how, and what should not be done and how not? We know that the train carries all loads, so after getting on it why should we carry our small luggage on our head to our discomfort, instead of putting it down in the train and feeling at ease?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is giving oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining this source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Then all this earth shines like one house.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is Self.
Ramana Maharshi
