Quote

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.

Image
When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.
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.
Ramana Maharshi

Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.
Ramana Maharshi

The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Doubts arise because of an absence of surrender.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
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
That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real
Ramana Maharshi
Image
Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
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
We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.
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
Image
He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
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
Image
There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.
Ramana Maharshi
