Image
The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You and I are the same. What I have done is surely possible for all. You are the Self now and can never be anything else. Throw your worries to the wind, turn within and find Peace.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God.
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 mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True I enjoys the stillness of bliss.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
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
The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
All are seeing God always. But they do not know it.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Turn your vision inward and then the whole world will be full of the Supreme Spirit.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
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.
