Ramana Maharshi

6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

Who Am I?

  1. IDEA 1

    Ask: who am I?

    Ramana's whole teaching rests on one question. Whenever a thought arises, ask who is having it. Tracing thoughts back to their source quiets the mind.

  2. IDEA 2

    You are not your thoughts

    Thoughts, feelings and the body come and go. The awareness that notices them stays. Ramana points you to that steady awareness as your real self.

  3. IDEA 3

    Happiness is your nature

    We chase happiness in objects, yet the peace felt in deep sleep needs no objects at all. Ramana says happiness is our natural state, covered over by restless thinking.
