Nobody doubts that he exists, though he may doubt the existence of God. If he finds out the truth about himself and discovers his own source, this is all that is required.

Self-reformation
Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.

The Gist of Ramana Maharishi's Teachings
Ulladhu Narpadhu and Upadesha Saaram are two of the most important works of Ramana Maharishi.
The gist of his teachings are presented in the following verse.
Hridaya Kuhara Madhye Kevalam Brahmamathram
Hyaham Aham Ithi Sakshath Atmaroopena Bhathi
Hridhvisha Manasa Swam Chinvatha Majjathava
Pavana Chalanarodhat Atma Nishto Bhavatwam.
In the inmost centre of the Heart cave Brahman alone shines in the form of Atman (Self) with direct immediacy as‘I’ — ‘I’. Enter into the Heart with questing mind, or by diving deep within, or through control of breath, and abide in the
Atman, dissolving the ego.

Pranayama
Breath-control is only an aid for mind-control(manonigraha); it will not bring about annihilation of the mind(manonasa). Like breath-control, meditation on some form
of God, repetition of mantras, diet-regulation, etc., are butaids for rendering the mind quiescent for the time-being.
