God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God.
Ramana MaharshiReality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.
Ramana MaharshiThe ultimate truth is so simple; it is nothing more than being in oneโs natural, original state.
Ramana MaharshiThere are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.
Ramana MaharshiConsciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.
Ramana MaharshiTime is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.
