Ramana Maharshi Body Quotations

In truth, you are spirit. The body has been projected by the mind, which itself originates from Spirit.

He that sees the Lord in the temple, the living body, by seeking Him within, can alone see Him, the Infinite, in the temple of the universe, having become the Endless Eye.

The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.

The macrocosm is in its entirety in the body. The body is in its entirety in the heart. Therefore heart is the summarised form of all the macrocosm.

Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.

The entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe.

Apart from the body does the world exist? Has anyone seen the world without the body?

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

All activities and events that a body is to go through are determined at the time of conception.

The State of liberated Being can be reached only by "dying"; but (this) dying does not consist in destruction of the body; one should understand that true death is the extinction of the ideas "I" and "mine."
