Ramana Maharshi - various quotes

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE MIND TO KNOW THE LORD WHO IMPARTS HIS LIGHT TO THE MIND, AND SHINES WITHIN THE MIND, EXCEPT BY TURNING THE MIND INWARD AND FIXING IT ON THE LORD?

THE SOURCE OF THE 'I' THOUGHT HAS TO BE ENQUIRED INTO.

THE FALSE 'I' IS THE OBSTRUCTION WHICH HAS TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE 'I' MAY CEASE TO BE HIDDEN.

THE BODY-CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE  WRONG 'I'.  GIVE IT UP.

IF YOU OBSERVE AWARENESS STEADILY, THIS AWARENESS ITSELF  AS GURU WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH.

YOU AND I ARE THE SAME. WHAT I HAVE DONE IS SURELY POSSIBLE FOR ALL. YOU ARE THE SELF NOW AND CAN NEVER BE ANYTHING ELSE. THROW YOUR WORRIES TO THE WIND. TURN WITHIN AND FIND PEACE.

THE SELF IS ALWAYS REALIZED. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO SEEK TO REALIZE WHAT IS ALREADY AND ALWAYS REALIZED.
