Ramana Maharshi

Ramana Maharshi
Image
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.
Ramana Maharshi

Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi

To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
You impose limits on your true nature of infinite being. Then you get displeased to be only a limited creature. Then you begin spiritual practices to transcend these non-existing limits. But if your practice itself implies the existence of these limits, how could they allow you to transcend them.
