Ramana Maharshi quotes about
drama self silence
Take refuge in silence. You can be here or there or anywhere. Fixed in silence, established in the inner 'I', you can be as you are. The world will never perturb you if you are well founded upon the tranquility within. Gather your thoughts within. Find out the thought centre and discover your Self-equipoise. In storm and turmoil be calm and silent. Watch the events around as a witness. The world is a drama. Be a witness, inturned and introspective.
happiness real self
Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
spring heart sky
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.
finding-yourself way mazes
If you go the way of your thoughts you will be carried away by them and you will find yourself in an endless maze.
moving self world
The Self does not move. The world moves in it.
yoga mind inquiry
The inquiry "who am I" turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.
self grace useless
Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.
heart mind supreme
The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.
yoga rocks mind
When one makes the mind stick to one thought, the mind becomes rock-steady and the energy is conserved.
care take-care
Engage yourself in the living present. The future will take care of itself.
heart sight perception
This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.
destiny achievement path
There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.
thinking-of-you yoga grief
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.
real long leaving
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
