More quotes by Ramana Maharshi

Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. I Am That I Am sums up the whole truth; the method is summarized in Be Still.

Interview (1945)

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

Abide as the Self by Ramana Maharshi and Ram Dass (1997)

Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.

Abide as the Self by Ramana Maharshi and Ram Dass (1997)

Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.

Until realisation there will be Karma, that is action and reaction. After realisation there will be no Karma and no world.
