Silence is never-ending speech. Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. Silence is ever speaking.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.

True silence is really endless speech.

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
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Image

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
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
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
Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.
