Maharshi's Gospel QUOTES

1 " How can the intellect which can never reach the Self be competent to ascertain, and much less decide the nature of the final state of Realization? It is like trying to measure the sunlight at its source by the standard of the light given by a candle. The wax will melt down before the candle comes anywhere near "

― Ramana Maharshi , Maharshi's Gospel

2 " Did you know your kinsmen before their birth that you should seek to know them after their death? "

― Ramana Maharshi , Maharshi's Gospel

3 " Realization is nothing to be gained afresh, it is already there. All that is necessary is to get rid of the thought ‘I have not realised’. "

― Ramana Maharshi , Maharshi's Gospel

4 " If you take the appearance to be real you will never know the Real itself, although it is the Real alone that exists. This point is illustrated by the analogy of the ‘snake in the rope’. As long as you see the snake you cannot see the rope as such. The non-existent snake becomes real to you, while the real rope seems wholly non-existent as such. "

― Ramana Maharshi , Maharshi's Gospel

5 " If that had been your destiny the question would not have arisen. "

― Ramana Maharshi , Maharshi's Gospel
