ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY–pt196

[The Teaching  of Non-Duality has been adapted from Master Nome, disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi.  Sections appended below derive from Sri Ramana's Teaching.]

Consciousness, without which anything appended to Consciousness, is the Natural State (sahaja) of the Self.   Of all one's Ideas & Perceptions, which of them can be said to actually be one's True Nature ?  Though one may regard the clearer more spiritual Concepts & Perceptions as closer than cloudier ones, the clearest Concepts & Perceptions, being mere reflections of something beyond, none of them are actually the Consciousness itself.  Consciousness, which is of the nature of the Self, transcends all Concepts & Perceptions.  It is just so & always so.  Therefore to abide in the Natural State of the Self, to know the ever–present nature of  Existence & Consciousness, practice Self-Inquiry to know what is ever–present without a break for all Time.

[Sri Ramana]

The Self alone is the Reality; the World & the rest of it are not.  The realized being does not see the World as different from himself.  The Sage’s Realization leads to the uplift of humanity without the latter being aware of it. The help is imperceptible but is still there. A Sage helps the whole of humanity, unknown to the latter.
