Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
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
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
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
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Ramana Maharshi

Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
Ramana Maharshi

Such happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself
Ramana Maharshi

The explorers seek happiness in finding curiosities, discovering new lands and undergoing risks in adventures. They are thrilling. But where is pleasure found? Only within. Pleasure is not to be sought in the external world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
He whose pure mind turns inward and searches whence does this 'I' arise, knows the Self and merges in You, the Lord, as a river into the sea.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Doubts arise because of an absence of surrender.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The world is not outside you.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The mind turned inwards is the Self turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.
