More on ego
The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi The place where even the slightest trace of the ‘I’ does not exist, alone is Self.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi There must be a subject to know the good and evil. That subject is the ego.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi All bad qualities centre round the ego. When the ego is gone, Realisation results by itself. There are neither good nor bad qualities in the Self. The Self is free from all qualities. Qualities pertain to the mind only.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it; the other thoughts will die away – the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi It is said that the I-activity is the root of all activities. From where the I-thought emerges, that in short is the heart.
