ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY–pt182

[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.]

By Dis-identification from what is transient & what is merely a product of delusive notions, one liberates oneself from all of the Illusion.  The Self is colorless, shapeless, of the nature of Existence–Consciousness, universal, Uncreated, Eternal, Infinite, beyond Birth & Death, Formless, & un-differentiated. Such is the natural experience of all those who see themselves with the eye of true Knowledge, with which those who practice Self-Inquiry to know the Self become endowed.

[Sri Ramana]

One Reality is the Self from whom has sprung the Ego which contains within itself the seeds of predispositions (karmic vasanas) acquired in previous births. The Self illumines the Ego, the predispositions & also the gross Senses.  Thereupon, the predispositions appear to the Senses to have materialized as the Universe, & become perceptible to the Ego, the reflection of the Self.  The Ego identifies itself with the Body, & so loses sight of the Self.  The result of this inadvertence is dark Ignorance & the suffering of the present life.
