Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Then all this earth shines like one house.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
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
Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one's Self is to be blissful always.

If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Why should we... constantly worry ourselves... as to what should be done and how, and what should not be done and how not?

That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.
Ramana Maharshi

Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
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 nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.

Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
