Don't look here and there. 
Don't look anywhere. Stop looking. 
Stop all your imagining of the future and conceptualizing of the past. 
Keep yourself in this moment, which is no moment. Find out where this moment is rising from, where time is rising from, 
where this thought is rising from, 
and you will see you have always been at Home. You don't need anything more!

live here now

Forget about yesterday. Forget about the way you were brought up, what happened to you, who hurt you. Don't concern yourself with the future. It makes no difference what is going on in your life at the present time, so just drop it. Leave it alone. Live in the moment. Be spontaneous.

ego

The ego is never your friend.

The ego exists only to confuse you and confound you. 

That is why it appears to exist. 
But to whom does the ego exist? 
Only to the mind.

Destroy the mind by not thinking about it. 
If you do not think about the mind it becomes weaker and weaker 
and finally it's totally annihilated. 

For everything works by itself. 
It takes care of itself, in its own time and in its own place.

That is why I emphasize so much, turn into yourself. 

Never try to solve your problems. 
You cannot do it, 
rather know yourself, 
be yourself 
and see if any problems disturb you at all. 

If you would only turn within yourself and stop trying to 
change other people or 
change conditions or 
change behavior patterns. 

Leave these things alone. 

Be yourself ! 
Love yourself ! 
Worship yourself !

And then see what happens to you.

silence

Ramana Maharshi 

Silence is a powerful tool and Ramana Maharshi understood this concept well. 

He recognized that silence is truth, bliss, peace, and the Self. 

He understood that there is a deep importance in stillness

and that it can bring one closer to their sense of self-discovery and growth.

Silence can be a form of meditation, allowing 

one to connect with the innermost parts of themselves 

while connecting with the world around them. 

Silence helps to foster strong relationships with others, 

allowing each person to be heard without judgment or criticism. 

By embracing silence, one can learn about themselves and others, 

as well as develop a heightened sense of understanding. 

Ramana Maharshi's wise words remind us of the importance of stillness

and reflection and how it can help to transform our lives.

Silence is a powerful force that can bring about truth, bliss, peace, and even self-realization. 

This was realized by the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi, 

who believed that Silence is the Self. 

He believed that by stilling the mind and engaging in silent meditation, 

one could experience the deepest levels of truth and peace.

By listening to the silence, it is possible to access higher states of consciousness

 and gain insight into the true nature of reality.

 It is by going beyond the chatter of the mind that 

we can connect with our true source of inner peace and wisdom. 

This simple yet powerful truth is espoused by Ramana Maharshi 

in his teachings on Silence as a way to find self-realization and spiritual enlightenment

intellect

Do not lend your intellect [buddhi] 
as a slave 
to the gymnastics of eloquence 
[in the form of speech and poetry] and 
to the jugglery of arguments. 
Know the truth, Self, 
by turning the pure sattvic mind within
and thereby 
destroying the illusion of otherness.
