Ramana Maharshi:
Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is:
charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice;
it is virtue, divine union and devotion;
it is heaven, wealth, peace and truthfulness;
it is grace; it is the state of divine silence;
it is the deathless death;
it is knowing, renunciation, final liberation and Bliss.

The following excerpts are from the verbal responses from Ramana from different times that have been written down and translated.
Ramana remained silent most of the time, but he would usually answer in response to questions from visitors and sometimes would start talking by himself.
He said silence is the most powerful spiritual force, and he radiated that quite powerfully, as documented in the book 'Face to face with Ramana Maharshi'
This book is a [short] collection taken from the already existing books of Ramana, which mostly come from the original notations of Sri Muruganar, namely:
Be As You Are – by David Godman
The Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharsh in His Own Words – Edited by Arthur Osborne
Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi – Sri Ramanashramam
Who Am I? [Nan Yar?] – Translation by Dr. T. M. P. MAHADEVAN
GURU VACHAKA KOVAI – Sadhu Om and Micheal James
Day by Day with Bhagavan – A. Devaraja Mudaliar
Guru rama By. S. S. COHEN
Remninsence of sadhu by SADHU ARUNACHALA
All books are free to read online.
Often the term 'man' is used, this refers also to 'mankind', women were treated equally in the Ashram and are seen equally as the Self.
The quotes at the beginning of the chapters are all from Ramana.
R stands for Ramana and Q stands for questioner.
