Ramana Maharshi Quotes about Suffering

  • You do not like to suffer yourself. How can you inflict suffering on others?
  • Suffering is the way for Realization of God.
  • There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
  • Till you reach the state of jnana and thus wake out of maya you must do social service by relieving suffering whenever you see it. But even then you must do it without ahankara, i.e., without the sense of 'I am the doer', but with the feeling 'I am the Lord's tool'.
