The Light of Wisdom

If attachment, or confusion, is done away with, something remains that is of the nature of Existence and Bliss. It is motionless. It does not go out of itself, and it does not change. Its changelessness is its fullness.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
As an embodied being, you pertain to something unembodied and not individualized.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
In the spirit of giving there is, to a greater or lesser degree, the severance of the I-am-the-body consciousness.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
In the view, “I see my mind,” what is the nature of the “I”? It cannot possibly correspond to anything that appears in the mind because it is the seer thereof.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
A power displayed in a dream is no real power at all. To wake up from the dream, so as not to be entangled in samsara, is real power.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
How do you go beyond the mind and its impressions? It is not by thinking, not by a mental mode, and not by not thinking, but by mind-transcendent Knowledge.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
That which sees the play of the mind, untouched by it, is God. Since the existence of God is completely one with no parts possible, there is no room left for this “me.”
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
Dharma, what is truly one's own dharma, is freedom from the misidentification with the body.
Sri Ramana Maharshi • The Light of Wisdom
“What provides you with light?” “By day, the sun, by night, a lamp.” “What is the light that sees these lights?” “The eye.” “What is the light that illumines the eye?” “The intellect.” “What is it that knows the intellect?” “It is the ‘I.’” “Therefore, you are the light of lights.”
