RAMANA MAHARSHI -
If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -
The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -
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.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -
If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -
Suffering is the way for Realization of God.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -

RAMANA MAHARSHI -
Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -
