In reality it is Enquiry into Being , the Self. ========================================================= Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan] Chapter 15 `Sravana Manana Nidhidyasana' V7 Study of the scriptures is said to be contemplation of the Self. Actually, only self-enquiry is contemplation of it. Commentary Traditionally, dwelling on the meaning of the words in sacred texts is regarded as contemplation on Truth. However, self-enquiry alone is meditation on it. Ramana gives the pride of place to self-enquiry because it is the only effective means of tackling the ego. Unless ego's source is understood, Self-knowledge is not possible. Hence it is the second and essential step preceding Self-abidance. ======== anu _________ALL-NEW Messenger - sooooo many all-new ways to express yourself http://uk.messenger.
