The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
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
Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
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
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
Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart, or the Seat of Consciousness, it is all the same.
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
We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.
Ramana Maharshi
The source of the ego is God.
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
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi
The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Ramana Maharshi
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
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
Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.
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
In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
Ramana Maharshi
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.
Ramana Maharshi
Silence is never-ending speech. Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. Silence is ever speaking.
Ramana Maharshi
