More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
Ramana Maharshi
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.
Ramana Maharshi
The mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True I enjoys the stillness of bliss.
Ramana Maharshi
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
Ramana Maharshi
Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings.
Ramana Maharshi
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
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
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi
The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.
Ramana Maharshi
Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
Ramana Maharshi
Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.
Ramana Maharshi
Knowing the Self, God is known.
Ramana Maharshi
The Self itself is the world the Self itself is 'I' the Self itself is God all is Siva, the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
The ego's phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I'-thought rises
Ramana Maharshi
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
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
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
We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.
Ramana Maharshi
