Image
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
Ramana Maharshi
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
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
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
Image
The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Why should we... constantly worry ourselves... as to what should be done and how, and what should not be done and how not? We know that the train carries all loads, so after getting on it why should we carry our small luggage on our head to our discomfort, instead of putting it down in the train and feeling at ease?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The world is not outside you.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.
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
