Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 "The state of non-emergence of 'I' is the state of Pure Being, Pure Awareness. The can be achieved only through enquiring 'Who am I?' Just as a man would dive in order to get something that had fallen in water, so one should dive into oneself with a keen one-pointedness and find the place whence the 'I' originates. The only enquiry leading to Self Knowledge is seeking the source of the feeling of 'I'. If one enquires 'who am I?' within, the individual 'I', the limited 'I', falls down abashed as soon as one reaches the Heart. Immediately Reality manifests itself spontaneously as 'I'-'I'. Although it reveals itself as 'I', it is not the limited 'I' known to us, but the Perfect Being, the Eternal 'I', the Divine Essence in us. The Self, the Truth that you seek to know is thus verily yourself." (Sri Ramana quoted in "Direct Teaching of Bhagavan Ramana", by V. Ganesan.)
