More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
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
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Ramana Maharshi
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
Ramana Maharshi
If one watches whence the notion 'I' arises, the mind gets absorbed there that is tapas. When a mantra is repeated, if one watches whence that mantra sound arises, the mind gets absorbed there that is tapas.
Ramana Maharshi
Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
Ramana Maharshi
Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death remembrance of it is rebirth.
Ramana Maharshi
There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana Maharshi
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi
When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Doubts arise because of an absence of surrender.
Ramana Maharshi
Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
Ramana Maharshi
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
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
The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.
Ramana Maharshi
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
