Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 (All but the last one are taken from "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi") "One's efforts are directed only to remove one's ignorance. Afterwards they cease, and the real Self is found to be always there. No effort is needed to remain as the Self." "There is no fruit without previous karma; no karma without previous sankalpa (intentions). Even mukti (liberation, spiritual freedom) must be the result of effort so long as the sense of doership persists." ~~~~~ D: Master, being asked 'Who?', I know that it is ignorant me, composed of the senses, mind, and body. I tried this enquiry 'Who?' after reading Paul Brunton's book. Three or four times I was feeling elated and the elation lasted sometime and faded away. How to be established in 'I'? Please give me the clue and help me. M: That which appears anew must also disappear in due course. D: Please tell me the method of reaching the eternal Truth. M: You are That. Can you ever remain apart from the Self? To be yourself requires no effort since you are always That. ~~~~~~~ D: Is then hearing the Truth meant only for a limited few? M: It is of two kinds. The ordinary one is to hear it enunciated and explained by a master. However, the right one is to raise the question for oneself and seek and find the answer in oneself as the unbroken 'I - I'. ~~~ "You and I are the same. What I have done is surely possible for all. You are the Self now and can never be anything else. Throw your worries to the wind, turn within and find Peace." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
