Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 > Dear Michael-ji, > > As I already said not very long ago, I acknowledge Ramana as ‘the real thing’ and *while he lived* undoubtedly a ‘sufficient mentor, guide and guru’. I think the problem arises now when a seeker takes the ‘Who am I’ enquiry as a stand-alone exercise, out of the context of all his other teaching and without the benefit of a ‘mentor, guide and guru’ and expects, with that alone, to become enlightened. I suggest that this is most unlikely. And I further suggest that Ramana himself would agree with me. > > Best wishes, > > Dennis Namaste D,IMO, Ramana tolerated the minds in front of him as he hadn't an individual ego of his own. I don't think he meant 'Who am I " Nan Yar as an exercise as it means different things in different languages. I feel he meant by turning inwards one progresses inwardly to the Sakti and the closer one gets the more one can feel it...It is that feeling that is Who am I? not the words or exercise. It is that 'feeling' that answers the question, not only of who am I but who is anything and everything....So Ramana wanted us to search inwardly for the feeling as through the Sakti one arrives at Kevala Samadhi and NirGuna.....Cheers Tony.
