Ramana Maharshi quotes - page 5
Ramana Maharshi was an Indian sage and spiritual teacher, renowned for promoting the path of self-inquiry (Atma Vichara). His teachings focused on realizing the true self as the essence of all existence. He became one of the most influential figures in modern Indian spirituality. Here are 104 of his quotes:
I read, among many others... Sri Ramana Maharshi..., whose Path of Self-knowledge I sought to follow. Through his meditation on "Who am I?", I found myself precipitated into a sense of identity with the whole phenomenal world: the earth, the sky, the houses and people; the trees and birds and clouds, I saw to be myself. I disappeared as a separate being, yet retained full consciousness, a consciousness expanded to include everything. I saw that this was the true Reality, that one's normal waking consciousness simply covers this, keeps it hidden, through wrong identification with oneself as this body. I also saw this phenomenal world as a kind of ritual, a ritualised shadow-play, acting out a dream or desire of That which alone existed, alone was Real, which was also myself.
