Famous Ramana Maharshi Quotes
Some of the are Famous Ramana Maharshi Quotes mentioned below –
You 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.One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, ‘Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!’ This should be one’s practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.Why should you trouble yourself about the future? You do not even properly know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
