Author of quotes: Sri Ramana Maharshi

Before you decide on the nature of God and the world, know yourself.

Imperturbably accept everything that happens, for pleasure and suffering are only modifications of the mind that have nothing to do with reality.

Everything that is done with love, with righteous purity and peace of mind is good. Any action colored with desire and performed with excitement filling the mind is classified as bad. Do not do any good deed by bad means, thinking, "It is enough if it bears good fruit," because if the means are bad, even goodness will turn into evil.

Happiness is your nature. You are wrong when you crave happiness. Is it possible to look outside for what is within yourself?

Worshiping God for the sake of what is desired is worshiping what is desired.

The only laudable purpose of this birth is to turn inward and attain Realization. There's nothing else to do here.

Until a person embarks on this search for his true Self, doubt and uncertainty will accompany any of his steps in this life.

The greatest fallacy of man to think that he is weak and evil by nature. Each person is Holy and strong by nature. Weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself.

- Is there any benefit to the seeker from a person who has attained Realization?
Yes. It helps you to get rid of the delusion that you are implemented.
