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.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage
Ramana Maharshi
The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.
Ramana Maharshi
You are already That which you seek.
Ramana Maharshi
Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness
Ramana Maharshi
When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home.
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
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
There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana Maharshi
'I Am' is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.
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
Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.
Ramana Maharshi
Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.
Ramana Maharshi
Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.
Ramana Maharshi
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Ramana Maharshi
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
Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart, or the Seat of Consciousness, it is all the same.
Ramana Maharshi
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
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
The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.
Ramana Maharshi
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
