Ramana Maharshi quotes about
yoga mind consciousness
When we turn the mind inwards, God manifests as the inner consciousness.
real men self
The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man’s real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man’s search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable; therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness, which does not come to an end.
giving causes surrender
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
perfect mind passionate
Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.
heart past feet
Place your burden at the feet of the Lord of the universe who is ever victorious and accomplishes everything. Remain all the time steadfast in the heart, in the Transcendental Absolute. God knows the past, present and future. He will determine the future for you and accomplish the work. What is to be done will be done at the proper time. Don't worry. Abide in the heart and surrender your acts to the Divine.
ego ifs
If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.
yoga realization delusion
Realization is to get rid of the delusion that you have not realized.
self social-reform reform
Self-reform automatically brings about social reform.
wind self worry
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.
grief heart sleep
The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.
mean self lasts
Whatever be the means adopted, you must at last return to the Self, so why not abide as the Self here and now?
heart consciousness ultimate-truth
Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.
yoga men self
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.
feelings suffering tools
Till you reach the state of jnana and thus wake out of maya you must do social service by relieving suffering whenever you see it. But even then you must do it without ahankara, i.e., without the sense of 'I am the doer', but with the feeling 'I am the Lord's tool'.
