Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.

Ramana Maharshi

Whatever be the means adopted, you must at last return to the Self, so why not abide as the Self here and now?
RAMANA MAHARSHI

Adopt Oneself Return
Whenever a thought arises, instead of trying even a little either to follow it up or to fulfil it, it would be better to first enquire, “To whom did this thought arise?”
RAMANA MAHARSHI

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.

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 MAHARSHI

Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death; remembrance of it is rebirth.
RAMANA MAHARSHI

Death Deep Forget Nature Reality Remember Spiritual Yourself
Under whatever name or form we worship It, It leads us on to knowledge of the nameless, formless Absolute. Yet, to see one’s true Self in the Absolute, to subside into It and be one with “It, this is the true Knowledge of the Truth.
