The main factor in meditation is to keep the mind active in its own pursuit without taking in external impressions or thinking of other matters.
Ramana MaharshiYour true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
Ramana MaharshiThe ultimate truth is so simple; it is nothing more than being in oneโs natural, original state.
Ramana MaharshiIf a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. He will discover that the Self always exists, that the body that is born resolves itself into thought and that the emergence of thought is the root of all mischief. Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
