W hen the men, the embodied beings treat each other with equal respect and have good brotherly feelings amongst themselves, great peace and harmony abound. Then all this earth shines like one house. The whole world shines like the one dwelling house of the entire human family.

quote 5648 | Ramana Maharshi

I f other thoughts rise, one should, without attempting to complete them, enquire, ‘To whom did they arise?’, it will be known ‘To me’. If one then enquires ‘Who am I?’, the mind (power of attention) will turn back to its source. By repeatedly practising thus, the power of the mind to abide in its source increases.

quote 5635 | Ramana Maharshi

T he mind will subside only by means of the enquiry ‘Who am I?’. The thought ‘Who am I?’, destroying all other thoughts, will itself finally be destroyed like the stick used for stirring the funeral pyre.

quote 5624 | Ramana Maharshi

W hat is called mind is a wondrous power existing in Self. It projects all thoughts. If we set aside all thoughts and see, there will be no such thing as mind remaining separate; therefore, thought itself is the form of the mind. Other than thoughts, there is no such thing as the mind.

I t will come all right in the end.

quote 5536 | Ramana Maharshi

N o one succeeds without effort. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

quote 5526 | Ramana Maharshi

K now that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice; it is virtue, Divine union and devotion; it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth; it is grace; it is the state of Divine silence; it is the deathless death; it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss.

quote 5515 | Ramana Maharshi

T he pure mind is itself Brahman; it therefore follows that Brahman is not other than the mind of the sage.

quote 5502 | Ramana Maharshi

T ime is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge. But some of these rules and discipline are good for beginners.

quote 5490 | Ramana Maharshi

I llusion? To whom is the illusion? Find it out. Then illusion will vanish. Generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. It is foolish. Illusion is outside and unknown. But the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. Find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.

quote 5478 | Ramana Maharshi

I f you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

quote 5442 | Ramana Maharshi

A im high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.

quote 5440 | Ramana Maharshi

I f the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.

quote 5435 | Ramana Maharshi

R ealisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage.

quote 5434 | Ramana Maharshi

T here is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.

quote 5399 | Ramana Maharshi

T here is neither creation nor destruction, Neither destiny nor free will, Neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.

quote 5398 | Ramana Maharshi
