Ramana Maharshi Quotes About Awareness

Quotes about: Awareness

• Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Contentment, Desire, Mindfulness

• Jnana is given neither from outside nor from another person. It can be realised by each and everyone in his own Heart. The jnana Guru of everyone is only the Supreme Self that is always revealing its own truth in every Heart through the being-conciousness 'I am, I am.' The granting of true knowledge by him is initiation into jnana. The grace of the Guru is only that Self-awareness that is one's own true nature. It is the inner conciousness by which he is unceasingly revealing his existence. This divine upadesa is always going on naturally in everyone.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Heart, Self, Grace

• A man does not have to go and find where his eyes are in order to see. The heart is there, always open to you, if you care to enter it, always supporting your movements, although you may be unaware of it. It is perhaps more correct to say that the Self is the Heart. Really the Self is the centre and is everywhere aware of itself as the Heart or Self-awareness.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Heart, Eye, Men

• You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Giving Up, Self, Names

• The mind of one meditating on a single object becomes one-pointed. And one-pointedness of mind leads to abidance in the self. Real attainment is to be fully conscious, to be aware of surroundings and the people around, to move among them all, but not to merge consciousness in the environment. One should remain in inner independent awareness.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Real, Moving, Yoga

• Once the current of awareness of the self is set afoot, it becomes everlasting and continuous by intensification.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Yoga, Self, Awareness

• If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Awareness, Guru, Ifs

• Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one's own awareness is direct knowledge.

  Ramana Maharshi

  Perception, Awareness, Indirect

  Maharshi Ramana, Swami Saraswati Ramananda (1963). “Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi”

• If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself

  Ramana Maharshi

  Real, Long, Leaving
