Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Dear Kayo, sorry for the late reply. I have been thinking about what to write to you, but I am afraid I cannot answer a single one of your questions with any finality. Some of these questions are partially answered in the scriptures, to the degree they are deemed fit to be expressed in words. You can learn a lot about Sri Ramana Maharshi's teachings through some of the contributors on this list, as well as through a number of books. You might also go to the works of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, and Paramahansa Yogananda. However, the great saints are usually reluctant to discuss these things too much. They rather speak about the mode of life we are to follow in order that we may one day gain direct realization of God. Prayer, meditation, leading a pure life, having love for all living beings - this is what is usually described as the correct path. But you probably knew all of that before.
