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.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
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 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
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 mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True I enjoys the stillness of bliss.
Ramana Maharshi
All that one gives to others one gives to one's self. If this truth is understood, who will not give to others?
Ramana Maharshi
We loosely talk of Self-realization, for lack of a better term. But how can one realize that which alone is real? All we need to do is to give up our habit of regarding as real that which is unreal. All religious practices are meant solely to help us do this.
Ramana Maharshi
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.
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
There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.
Ramana Maharshi
If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.
Ramana Maharshi
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
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
See who is the subject and this inquiry leads you to pure Consciousness beyond the subject.
Ramana Maharshi
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi
Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
Ramana Maharshi
The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man’s real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man’s search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end.
Ramana Maharshi
You impose limits on your true nature of infinite being. Then you get displeased to be only a limited creature. Then you begin spiritual practices to transcend these non-existing limits. But if your practice itself implies the existence of these limits, how could they allow you to transcend them.
Ramana Maharshi
