Those aspirants who do not feel any natural inclination for traditional forms of yoga or spiritual disciplines, can practice "Self-enquiry" - a direct method to attain knowledge of the Self, recommended by sage Sri Ramana Maharshi. Just like Bhakti Yoga, Self-enquiry is also relatively easy to practice, and the beauty of this method is that it takes us most directly to liberation if practiced consistently with discipline and sincerity. Self-enquiry is the constant attention to the inner awareness of "I" or "I am". Through regular practice, the "I"-thought or "ego-consciousness" will disappear and only self-awareness remains. This results in an "effortless awareness of being", and by staying with it, this self-awareness gradually destroys the vasanas (mental impressions) which cause the 'I'-thought to rise, and finally the 'I'-thought never rises again, which is Self-realization or liberation.
Yes you said correct brother..... It is straight and direct like gun shot to point black method to realization...........given by Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi......
There is no such thing as liberation, given that there is nothing to liberate. Self permeates all of existence and in this moment, manifesting me typing my understanding on this thread. You, reading these words, the words, the computer, the chair, the house, cat, car and cow, etc. are all "self" expressions within the field of self. Sub atomic, macro-cosmic, light, density, spaciousness and so forth is nothing but self. In each self's birth, continuation and dilution, there is nothing but the self. Personality or ego is self-localized. Self-expressed and more often than not through faulty education, self-forgetting and when self-constricted through all sorts of self-centered behavior, the inner and outer expression is selfishness. Selflessness is nonattachment to localized name and form. Self-awareness is that self is aware that it is intimately connected to each and every forming expression of self. Constricted self evokes fear. Expansive self evokes love. Cosmic self evokes bliss. Fearlessness is intuitively knowing that whether in the waking, dream or dreamless state there is nothing and no one to fear. When fear arises, it is still self dancing clumsily with self, colliding with self, living and dying as self and always reborn. Personality is merely a fleeting expression of self in an endless play of names and forms. Self is nameless, formless somehow, always giving birth to names and forms. Science is self wanting to see itself. Religion is self wanting to know itself. Both are self journeying endlessly within and beyond space and time. Self has been served!

All of my life my internal life it was as though I was lost in the jungle at night with nothing but a candle. I had no idea how blind I was everything I looked for was outside of myself or so I thought. Through a total and complete mental breakdown I gave up I absolutely 100% gave up in a way that I cannot explain to you. In that moment I found a door somehow I always knew it was there I stepped through it and found enlightenment. Thank you swami

Ramana Maharshi's teachings are the hardest concepts to wrap my head around as I've ever heard in my entire life. I've never wanted to understand something so bad that I just utterly and completely couldn't.
keep reflecting on it, take your time with his words, one day it will make sense. Ramana himself said take what little you understand and apply that knowledge in practical terms (such as taking up a spiritual practice). This will help in the long run and slowly the obstacles to knowledge will fade.
Thank You so much! I have been a meditator for many years and recently have become very comfortable in my retirement even indifferent. These videos have encouraged me to start meditating again. God is the ultimate Joy and bliss-always.
Awakening to one's Self Realisation, through understanding and experiencing the Truth, of Maharshi's Inner Silence through the short subtle Truth, that he models to us to gradually experience, through Being in this Still Spacious Silence, through Surrender. Thank you for the silence and sacredness in the voice of the Narrator, which was conducive and supportive
What a great great explanation...... Thank you very much Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharishi........and Thank you brother... May the Devine Lord bless you and your family........
According to Upanisad, the reality is Turiya, i.e. the fourth stage. Deep sleep is the closest to the Turiya, while all the three stages, i.e. wake up, dream, and deep sleep are unreal, just like the world we are living actually is unreal. So to renounce from this world is so easy if we know this world is unreal.
Then you should first renounce from writing unreal comments during the unreal waking state in an unreal world and an even more unreal internet, isn´t it ? ;-)
@@nirguna4826 renunciation is easy if u quit every think and stop Cease just stop Stop thinking stop believing stop following stop even thinking about renunciation If u never renunciate then tell me
I know consciousness never dies. But all these 3 states, happen when the body is alive, breathing - whether we're in sleep or awake. When we die, the body doesn't stay alive, and can't breathe. It stops functioning. So in that case, how would we know that we still exist after death?
None can give you enlightenment, since we are already that! But we are in ignorance of our true nature because we identify ourselves as a body, mind personality living a life. Get rid of the ignorance and truth reveals itself. Sri Ma Anandamayi said that unless one discovers one own internal Guru one cannot find an external Guru. 🙏🏼🌹🙏🏼
Yes there are individuals who can give you Self Realization. They are known as a Gnani Purush or a Sat Purush. Only a lit candle(enlightened being) can light an unlit candle(us). You must have great merit karma to cross paths with such a being & to obtain the eternal from Him. If you are truly interested, look up Akram Vignan & go from there! I recommend to start with researching "Self Realization" &/or "Who Am I?"
That's the magic... All self is one...... The self in you that enabled you to ask this question is the same self that enabled me to look at this question and answer it.... This is the ultimate knowledge ..
@@jitendermisra1382 when you realize the self, does it not surround your individual existence ? Is it not the jeevatma or the individual soul that you are realizing ? I am a bit confused about it.
@@RK-ln5kx The self is one but bodies and egos and minds appear to be many....... It's like when you watch a film....the images on the screen take many forms but the screen is ONE.....if you are attached to one character or body, you falsely cling to it as your true identity. It's also like bubbles in the water....they appear to be many and individual but when they dissolve....they just merge with the rest of the water because they never had any true individuality (this is how bodies and egos are).....

Am able to mute the sound (as did the Bhagavan himself as a teaching method; haven't read of the Master playing any mood music during satsang -- just read the paper).

And yet he still ate, he still slept and presumably he also dreamed. He ordained that certain buildings should be erected in his ashram, he had a doctor handle his cancerous growth on his arm.

Why give talks to people if they don't really exist (as a body mind complex) and what is it that gets awakened, the true self? or the illusory persona (can an illusion destroy itself?)
Good observations. The body functioned as it should without any personal preferences.. but that wasn’t the Self. Bhagavan himself joined in the chanting of Ramana Sadguru. When he ate, he mixed all the dishes together. He had no preferences. He emphasised the construction of the cow shed as he believed that would bring about the blessings of Cow Lakshmi upon the Ashram. He didn’t seek doctors to treat his cancer . They were called for by the devotees. He merely submitted to the “ higher power”. The realised man, we are told has no sankalpa or personal desires. That which is expressed is that of the Lord himself. There is no difference between Him and the Lord. Jesus tells Thomas the same in logos 15. Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your father." Shalom.🙏

Awake Ness in dreams is possible but mostly not in deep sleep in normal lives . The question, that why these three stages ..? Answer : don't go behind that , these are the necessities of life . 2nd question rather an understanding that repeated several times , " that you were present always in all 3 stages " Ans : Nothing can be said about who is , was or always remains present with someone . Definitely Guruji was not .

Silence or nothing is the best answer. Where ever their is absence of light their is darkness, we can't say absence of darkness ..
1)Why Self - because Self is the Operator. 2)Who created it - nobody can create it. Because it is Eternal ! 3)Why are we here - because of our Karma.
