More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality. We think that there is something hiding reality and that this must be destroyed before reality is gained. How ridiculous! A day will dawn when you will laugh ... at all your past efforts. That which will be the day you laugh is also here and now.
Ramana Maharshi
The Seeker himself becomes the knower. The thing to be known is already there. There is nothing to be known afresh. More-over there are no two things. There is only the seer, the knower.
Ramana Maharshi
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
Ramana Maharshi
You impose limits on your true nature of infinite being. Then you get displeased to be only a limited creature. Then you begin spiritual practices to transcend these non-existing limits. But if your practice itself implies the existence of these limits, how could they allow you to transcend them.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
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
To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi
Speaking of Self-realizatio n is a delusion. It is only because people have been under the delusion that the non-Self is the Self and the unreal the Real that they have to be weaned out of it by the other delusion called Self-realizatio n because actually the Self always is the Self and there is no such thing as realizing it.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.
Ramana Maharshi
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
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 Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Love is verily the heart of all religions.
Ramana Maharshi
Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.
Ramana Maharshi
All that one gives to others one gives to one's self. If this truth is understood, who will not give to others?
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
