Ramana Maharshi
Quotes
- The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge. ― Ramana Maharshi
- When you remain free from thoughts, that is your real nature, which you are now trying to realise by keeping away other thoughts. Such keeping away of other thoughts is now called ‘meditation’. When practice becomes firm, your real nature shows itself as true meditation.
- To each person that way is the best which appears easiest or appeals most. All the ways are equally good, as they lead to the same goal, which is the merging of the ego in the Self.
- The greatest obstacle to enlightenment is getting past your delusion that you are not already enlightened. ― Ramana Maharshi
- 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 ― Ramana Maharshi
- There must be a subject to know the good and evil. That subject is the ego. ― Ramana Maharshi
