Image
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
Ramana Maharshi
Image
An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.
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
You are all searching for the silence of the mountain. But you're looking for something outside. This silence is accessible to you right now, inside the center of your own being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The solution to your problem is to see who has it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. 'I am' is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The source of the ego is God.
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.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.
