REMINDER TO ALL DEVOTEES OF RAMANA AND ALL SEEKERS OF TRUTH

[Guest guest]

Instead of wanting to know this and that, seek to know the Self. Ask "Who am I?" instead of asking about hundred other things. What one has to do is simple - to abide as the Self. This is the ultimate truth. This is one's eternal, natural, inherent state.

On account of ignorance we identify ourselves with the not-I. The most subtle of all these identifications is this with the ego. Let us search for the root of the ego. Where from does this pseudo-I arise?

At the end of this quest we shall find that the ego disappears letting the eternal Self shine.

So the best discipline is the inquiry: "Who am I?" This is the greatest Japa, this is the true Pranayama.

The fruit of self-inquiry is the realization that the Self is all and that there is nothing else.

For those who follow this method no other Sadhana is necessary. But even those who adopt the discipline of devotion (bhakti) reach the same goal.

If one surrenders one's ego to either the Guru or G'D, one realizes the Self.

 

Sri Bhagavan always stressed the one essential truth that was necessary for liberation.

That there is only one Self and nothing but the Self.

Know that and everything else is known. This cannot be repeated too often.....

 

Doubtless, an intellectual grasp of this fact sets one on the path, but the path once started, mental knowledge must than become actual experience. To know a thing absolutely, not just superficially, one must be that thing, otherwise knowledge is incomplete.
