Product Description

Product Description

Ramana Maharshi was one of the most significant spiritual teachers to emerge from India during the first half of the century, and remains widely admired. This recent collection of conversations between him and the many seekers who came to his ashram for guidance contains the essence of his teaching. His concern throughout his long life of imparting his experience to others was to convince his listeners that self-realisation - or enlightenment - is not an alien or mysterious state, but the natural condition of man. This state can be easily discovered by undertaking the self-investigation clearly described in these talks. The lucid instructions to each section provide further illumination of this greater seer's message.
Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
The essence of Sri Ramana's teachings is conveyed in his frequent assertions that there is a single immanent reality, directly experienced by everyone, which is simultaneously the source, the substance and the real nature of everything that exists. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Truthful and sensitive presentation of Ramana Maharshi, 4 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I have read many books about Ramana Maharshi and his teaching, but this one is THE BEST. Ramana Maharshi was one of the greatest spiritual masters of this century, and this beautiful book does him full justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT INTRO TO SRI RAMANA'S THOUGHT, 8 July 2009
The book is a concise introduction to Sri Ramana Maharshi's thought, compiled from his various writings. It's made pretty clear that Sri Ramana often contradicted himself (in his teachings) if only because he tailored his advice to the level of understanding of the listener. Perhaps he was also trying to take account of the fact that each of us creates our own reality?

At any rate, I found the book frustrating, partly because it uses a lot of Indian/buddhist terms I'm not familiar with, but also because I object to the conclusion that bliss/nirvana is our ideal/natural state so that the problems/issues of "ordinary" life hardly need thinking about. As a result, I browsed through the book rather than reading it from A to Z.

Nevertheless, I've rated the book 5-star because I concluded "there's gold in them there hills", ie a great deal of wisdom even though no mention of currently fashionable buzzwords such as non-locality or quantum theory. I believe Sri Ramana when he says there is no time, space or cause and effect in "the real world". I believe him when he says that we are all one, that is the individual is not separate. Indeed separation is an illusion.
