Quote

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.

Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi

Ramana Maharshi
Image
The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The seat of Realization is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The source of the ego is God.
Ramana Maharshi
