RAM KRISHAN PARAMHANSA-“It a thorn has entered your feet, get another thorn to take out the first, then the row away the second.”
RAM V CHANDRAN –“The role of ego in worldly life differs from its role in spiritual life. Ego means self-esteem, pride, vanity etc. To lead a successful worldly life, self-esteem is a positive virtue, but vanity is a negative quality for spiritual practice, ego is the barrier and should be crushed.”

RAMANA MAHARISHI –“You know that you know nothing. Find out that knowledge. That is liberation, rnukti.”
RAMANA MAHARSHI –“As an example of direct perception everyone will quote the simile of the nellikai (gooseberry) placed in the palm of the hand. The Self is even more directly perceivable than the fruit on the palm. To perceive the fruit there must be the fruit, the palm to place it on and the eyes to see it. The mind should also be in the proper condition (to process the information). Without any of these four things, even those with very little knowledge can say out of direct experience, “I am”. Because the Self exists just as the feeling “I am”, atma vidya is very easy indeed. The easiest path is to see the one who is going to attain the atma (Self).”

RAMANA MAHARSHI –“When we turn the mind inwards, God manifests as the inner consciousness.”
RAMANA MAHARSHI –“You do not acquire happiness. Your nature is happiness. Bliss is not newly acquired. All that is done is to remove unhappiness.”
RAMANA. MAHARSHI –“The grace of the guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry It is entirely up to him.”
