There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.

More quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Have faith in God and in yourself that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
Ramana Maharshi
Realization consists of getting rid of the false idea that one is not realized.
Ramana Maharshi
If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself
Ramana Maharshi
There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.
Ramana Maharshi
You and I are the same. What I have done is surely possible for all. You are the Self now and can never be anything else. Throw your worries to the wind, turn within and find Peace.
Ramana Maharshi
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
Ramana Maharshi
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
An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.
Ramana Maharshi
If you approach the ocean with a cup, you can only take away a cupful if you approach it with a bucket you can take away a bucketful.
Ramana Maharshi
'I Am' is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
The Seeker himself becomes the knower. The thing to be known is already there. There is nothing to be known afresh. More-over there are no two things. There is only the seer, the knower.
Ramana Maharshi
Food affects the mind. For the practice of any kind of yoga, vegetarianism is absolutely necessary since it makes the mind more pure and harmonious.
Ramana Maharshi
Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.
Ramana Maharshi
If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.
Ramana Maharshi
No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
Ramana Maharshi
He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
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
Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.
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
There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
