Ramana Maharshi
Image

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
Image
If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. I Am That I Am sums up the whole truth the method is summarized in Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Knowing the Self, God is known.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
