More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.
Ramana Maharshi
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 degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
Ramana Maharshi
There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.
Ramana Maharshi
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
One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, 'Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!' This should be one's practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.
Ramana Maharshi
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.
Ramana Maharshi
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.
Ramana Maharshi
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
Ramana Maharshi
The search Who am I...ends in the annihilation of the illusory I and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one's hand.
Ramana Maharshi
Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice it is virtue, divine union and devotion it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth it is grace it is the state of divine silence it is the deathless death it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss.
Ramana Maharshi
The solution to your problem is to see who has it.
Ramana Maharshi
If you approach the ocean with a cup, you can only take away a cupful if you approach it with a bucket you can take away a bucketful.
Ramana Maharshi
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
