Consciousness is the screen on which all the pictures
come and go. The screen is real, the pictures are mere shadows on it.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
In deep sleep man is devoid of possessions, including his own body. Instead of being unhappy he is quite happy. Everyone desires to sleep soundly.
The conclusion is that happiness is inherent in man and is not due to external causes. One must realise his Self in order to open the store of unalloyed happiness.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise the Self. There is nothing else to do.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
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.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
GOD is not an object that can be seen.
God is the subject.
He is the seer.
You alone are God.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
When a person reaches a certain stage and becomes fit for enlightenment,
the same God whom he was worshipping comes as Guru and leads him on.
That Guru comes only to tell him.
'The God is within yourself.
Dive within and realise.'
God, Guru and the Self are the same.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
That which is, is only one consciousness.
One should get rooted in it, in one's own Heart.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Only if one knows the truth of love, which is the real nature of Self, will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains the height of love will liberation be attained.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
The same line you take in meditation will be expressed in your activities.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Meditation opens one's true being to the Light, to that which is Eternal.
#AnandamayiMa
Man's true nature flows towards God alone.
#AnandamayiMa
As the perfume of the flower spreads through the air, so will the fragrance of God produced by your daily practice be transported on the wind into the world at large.
#AnandamayiMa
Look, one cannot be sure of the next breath.
Keep this in mind and meditate on Him.
Your lifetime is fast slipping away and with every breath your lifespan is decreasing.
#AnandamayiMa

Leave your front door and your back door open.
Allow your thoughts to come and go.
Just don't serve them tea.
