Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 17. Is it possible for everyone to know directly without doubt what exactly is one's true nature ? Undoubtedly it is possible. 18. How ? It is the experience of everyone that even in the states of deep sleep , fainting , etc. , when the entire universe , moving and stationery , beginning with earth and ending with the unmanifested (prakrti) , disappears , he does not dissapear. Therefore the state of pure being which is common to all and which is always experienced directly by everybody is one's true nature. The conclusion is that all experiences in the enlightened as well as the ignorant state , which may be described by newer and newer words , are opposed to one's real nature. taken from Spiritual Instruction, Attainment The Spiritual Teaching of Ramana Maharshi Shambhala Dragon Editions , 1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
