Ramana Maharshi quotes about
ego source
The source of the ego is God.
mean rising-up mind
The fact is that the mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The mind is fattened by new thoughts rising up. Therefore it is foolish to attempt to kill the mind by means of the mind. The only way of doing it is to find its source and hold on to it. The mind will then fade away of its own accord.
belief nothing-to-lose lost
Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.
mind sage brahman
The pure mind is itself Brahman; it therefore follows that Brahman is not other than the mind of the sage.
words-of-wisdom problem solutions
The solution to your problem is to see who has it.
silence chaos conversation
Silence is also conversation.
real sea differences
Aim 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.
motivational real self
The mind turned inwards is the Self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.
real love-is self
The experience of not forgetting consciousness alone is the state of devotion which is the relationship of unfading real love, because the real knowledge of Self, which shines as the undivided supreme bliss itself, surges up as the nature of love. Love itself is the actual form of God. That is pure bliss. Call it pure bliss, God, Self, or what you will. That is devotion, that is realization and that is everything.
humankind ifs
Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.
higher-power higher knows
The Higher Power knows what to do and how to do it. Trust it.
peaceful mind world
If one's mind has peace, the whole world will appear peaceful.
yoga meditation mind
Meditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts; distraction of mind is a sign of its weakness; by constant meditation it gains strength.
real inspiration thinking
Keep the remembrance of your real nature alive, even while working, and avoid haste which causes you to forget. Be deliberate. Practice meditation to still the mind and cause it to become aware of its true relationship to the Self which supports it. Do not imagine that it is you who are doing the work. Think that is the underlying current which is doing it. Identify yourself with the current.
