Ramana Maharshi quotes about
yoga mind stills
When the mind is left without anything to cling to, it becomes still.
reality facts realization
There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality.
self stills realising
All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.
reality imagination doe
Misery does not exist in reality but only in mere imagination.
real fall sleep
If 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.
have-faith toil faith-in-god
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.
yoga roots mind
The mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True "I" enjoys the stillness of bliss.
self mind normal
The normal self is the mind. The mind is with limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond limitations, and is reached by investigation into the "I."
meditation-practice mind brake
Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.
insight liberation liberated
Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
real moving yoga
The mind of one meditating on a single object becomes one-pointed. And one-pointedness of mind leads to abidance in the self. Real attainment is to be fully conscious, to be aware of surroundings and the people around, to move among them all, but not to merge consciousness in the environment. One should remain in inner independent awareness.
mean shining mind
God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God.
independent mind world
Apart from thought, there is no independent entity called "world." Just as the spider emits the thread (of the web) out of itself and then withdraws it, likewise, the mind projects the world out of itself and then withdraws it back into itself.
self shining conviction
Remain still, with the conviction that the Self shines as everything yet nothing, within, without, and everywhere.
