To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
Ramana Maharshi

There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.

Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
Ramana Maharshi

Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
Ramana Maharshi

See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it the other thoughts will die away - the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.
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
Image
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi

Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.
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
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
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
