Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.
Ramana Maharshi

He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
Ramana Maharshi

The solution to your problem is to see who has it.
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

Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You are all searching for the silence of the mountain. But you're looking for something outside. This silence is accessible to you right now, inside the center of your own being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
