What 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.
Ramana MaharshiIf you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Ramana MaharshiHe who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.
Ramana MaharshiHappiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
Ramana MaharshiWhat exists in truth is the Self alone. The world, the individual soul and God are appearances in it. Like silver in mother-of-pearl, these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time. The Self is that where there is absolutely no 'I thought'. That is called 'Stillness'. The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.
