Ramana Maharshi Quotes

«Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.»
«You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.»
Author: Ramana Maharshi | Keywords: aspire, get rid of, rid, rid of
«The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.»
«No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.»
«If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.»
«It is not enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.»
«If one wants to abide in the thought-free state, a struggle is inevitable. One must fight one's way through before regaining one's original primal state. If one succeeds in the fight and reaches the goal, the enemy, namely the thoughts, will all subside in the Self and disappear entirely.»
