Book: Talks with Shri Ramana Maharshi
Author: Shri Ramana Maharshi
ISBN 81-88018-07-4
For me to talk about Shri Ramana Maharshi is like holding a candle to the sun. Ramana Maharshi is my Guru and guide.
Shri Ramana Maharshi is one of India’s greatest sages and seers, who lived in the early 19th century near his beloved Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai, India.
Though I call him India’s greatest sage, Shri Ramana Maharshi had no great thesis or discourses to his name. This is because the basis of Maharshi’s teaching was silence and contemplation. It is folk lore of Indian mythology and history that the great sage Sri Sri Adi Sankaracharya taught his 4 disciples through silence.
This book “Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi” is a record of the conversation and discussions that Maharshi had with his disciples and visitors between 1935 and 1939.
The basis of Shri Ramana Maharshhis teaching was : Why are you so confused? Whenever any doubt or question arises, find out who is asking the question. And is he different from who he is asking the question about. Discard all that is not you and find out, who or what defines the you. Anything that is common to mankind, easily accessible, an adjective or a vice, discard that. Find out what remains….. And yet, why are you so impatient about finding out? You are HE. You just have to find yourself out……. Self Inquiry.
