Self-Realization

[Guest guest]

H.N.Sreenivasa Murthy

      Pranams to you all.

  

         What is the purpose of a studyof oneself based on Tri-Basic View of life?

                   To realize one's True Nature or for Atmaj~Jana only.

   This point has been made clear by Sri Shankara in his commentary  at the beginning of the Fourth Brahmana Third chapter of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

  

  Bhagavan Raman Maharshi says in one of the talks:

  Quote:

         Bhagavan: The wrong identification with the body is dehatmabuddhi. This must go go before good results follow.

         Devotee: How to eradicate it?

         Bhagavan: We exist in sushupti without being associated with the body and mind. But in the other two states we are associated with them.

                If one with the body, how can we exist without the body

                      in Sushupti?

               We can separate ourselves from that which is external to us and from

                       that which is one withus. Hence the ego is not one with

                       the body.

                   THIS MUST BE REALISED IN THE WAKING STATE.

                   Avasthatraya should be studied ONLY  FOR GAINING

                   THIS  OUTLOOK.

                             --Talks With Sri Ramana Maharshi; Talk 286.

         Unquote.

  With warm and respectful regards,

Thanks for that, Subbu-ji. I have sent off the enquiry and, providing that

they do not charge 8 times the postage for 8 CDs as for 1, I will definitely

purchase them.

 

Best wishes,
