A man does not have to go and find where his eyes are in order to see. The heart is there, always open to you, if you care to enter it, always supporting your movements, although you may be unaware of it. It is perhaps more correct to say that the Self is the Heart. Really the Self is the centre and is everywhere aware of itself as the Heart or Self-awareness.
Ramana MaharshiThe 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.
Ramana MaharshiActions themselves form no bondage. Bondage is only the false belief,"I am the do-er."
Ramana MaharshiPeace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.
Ramana MaharshiSilence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.
Ramana MaharshiWhat is illusion? M.: To whom is the illusion? Find it out. Then illusion will vanish. Generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. It is foolish. Illusion is outside and unknown. But the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. Find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.
