Namaste H et al,IMHO,

 

The Self of which Ramana speaks mostly is the Saguna Brahman and

ultimately unreal, for never having existed. This is not the final

step, excepting as we are Praneaswara or the Shakti, we have to go

throught that stage. (Sat-Cit-Ananda are attributes and therefore

Saguana.)

 

IE. Realising that we are the Self/Sakti and at the same moment

realising Nirguna.

 

It is difficult to explain IMO for any description limits. This is

no doubt why Ramana talked mostly of the Saguna for how can one talk

of Nirguna, which cannot be Sat-Cit-Ananda. Also as most people are

already afraid of beng 'alone', they wouldn't accept talk of 'God'

without attributes. Even many of those on the Advaita path still

talk of Sat-Cit-Ananda, although Ramana has stated these are

qualities or attributes.

 

In the end result all worship and sadhana is to cleanse the

Vijnanamayakosa, so our awareness will rise above the desire for

attributes of any kind in ourselves or a 'God'........ONS..Tony.
