Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.

Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi In the Heart’s cavity, the sole Brahman as an ever-persisting ‘I’ shines direct in the form of the Self. Into the Heart enter thyself, with mind in search or in deeper plunge. Or by restraint of life-movement be firmly poised in the Self.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.
Ramana MaharshiRamana Maharshi The self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself, within yourself.
