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.

Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
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
Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Image
Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage
Ramana Maharshi

Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
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

We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.
Ramana Maharshi

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
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
Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
