More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Speaking of Self-realizatio n is a delusion. It is only because people have been under the delusion that the non-Self is the Self and the unreal the Real that they have to be weaned out of it by the other delusion called Self-realizatio n because actually the Self always is the Self and there is no such thing as realizing it.
Ramana Maharshi
The ego's phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I'-thought rises
Ramana Maharshi
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
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Ramana Maharshi
By whatever path you go, you will have to lose yourself in the one. Surrender is complete only when you reach the stage `Thou art all' and `Thy will be done'.
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation depends upon the strength of mind. It must be unceasing even when one is engaged in work. Particular time for it is meant for novices.
Ramana Maharshi
Doubts arise because of an absence of surrender.
Ramana Maharshi
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.
Ramana Maharshi
Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.
Ramana Maharshi
We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.
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
It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is giving oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining this source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
Ramana Maharshi
True silence is really endless speech.
Ramana Maharshi
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.
Ramana Maharshi
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
