Native Americans have the understanding of "natural mind", which I think is very close to Bhagavan's teachings--the indigenous"natural mind" is an effortless knowing of unity beyond the ego mind/body, and an egoless absorption in that unity. The Indian "Creator", or Great Spirit is nondual and very similar to Ramana's teachings about Pure Consciousness. It was Sarada Devi's radical simplicity and natural mind that appealed most to me, both as a Cherokee and an Advaitic Vedantist. Bhagavan has always been like a mother to me, also--such incomparable naturalness of mind and nondual being!
