Quote

The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.

Image
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The explorers seek happiness in finding curiosities, discovering new lands and undergoing risks in adventures. They are thrilling. But where is pleasure found? Only within. Pleasure is not to be sought in the external world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The search Who am I...ends in the annihilation of the illusory I and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one's hand.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality. We think that there is something hiding reality and that this must be destroyed before reality is gained. How ridiculous! A day will dawn when you will laugh ... at all your past efforts. That which will be the day you laugh is also here and now.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
The world is not outside you.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
As you are, so is the world.
