Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 A warm hello to every member here. Read some of the posts, and I had a good feeling that this is a serious place to talk about Self- Realization, Jnanis, Self-Enquiry etc. When I was between 10 and 12 years old, I had this inner restlessness. An unrelenting, burning desire for God. I could even say, a painful need. This lead me to read all the books I could lay my hands on, to have answers. Many places of study only increased my frustration, and occasionaly a feeling of being gullible. About 4-5 years ago, I finaly surrendered. Asking God to take over, I'm quitting! Then my life sort of escaladed through differents teachings. All building one upon the other, to finaly getting to Advaita Vedanta. Went into a frenzy of buying books. Ramana, Nisargatta and others. I haven't read many yet, so please bear with me if sometimes I ask very basic, or ridiculous questions LOL! I have started to practice Self-Enquiry, and I'm presently reading Sadhu OM's book The Path of Sri Ramana, to help me understand this. All of this as grown into an inner excitement, restlessness, impatience... Feeling that at last Enlightenment is within my grasp. The only goal I have is Self-Realization, an intense desire. I would apreciate it if some of you who have succeeded and would like to share on the little things about Self-Enquiry contact me. Maybe through messenger, or regular email. Or to discuss anything related to Self-Realization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
