When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home.
Ramana MaharshiIf the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.
Ramana MaharshiWhen your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.
Ramana MaharshiYou are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
