Ramana Maharshi explains meaning of I am That I Am in bible

[Guest guest]

The essence of the mind isonly awareness or consciousness.When the ego, however,dominates it,it functions as the reasoning,thinking or sensing faculty.The cosmic mind, not being limited by the ego,

has nothing to separate from itself,and is therefore only Aware. This is what the Bible means by,I AM THAT I AM.[from] Talks with Ramana Maharshi[recorded March 13th, 1936]

Alanji,I have received this mail some time back from another Ramana Maharshi devotees .I had trusted the source and hence i have forwarded the same.

My apologies for not authenticating before sending the same.I will try my best to find out from which book it is refered from.But nevertheless as known Ramana Maharshi always says whole of vedanta is contained in 2 bibilical statements 

“The Bible says, ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ Stillness is the sole requisite for the realisation of the Self as God. The whole Vedanta is contained in the two Biblical statements: ‘I AM THAT I AM’, and ‘BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD’.” -- Talks 338

‘Be still and know that I am God’. To be still is not to think. Know, and not think, is the word! (Talks, 131).

The Bible says ‘Be still and know that I am God’.Stillness is the sole requisite for the realisation of the Self as God. (Talks, 338).
