ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY–pt189

[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.]

The existence of the Senses is "in the Mind's power."  Therefore, it is not really true to say that we have ever experienced a World.  All the Objects of the World have just been what we have Seen, Heard, Touched, Smelled, & Tasted.  There has never been a conclusive experience of any Sense Object.  There has just been the Sensing, & proceeding along the same line of Self-Inquiry, there has never actually been the Sensing, but there has just been the Mind's Conceiving.

[Sri Ramana]

The practice is a constant search for "I", the source of the Ego.  Find out "Who am I ?" The pure "I" is the Reality, the Absolute Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. When That is forgotten, all miseries crop up; when that is held fast, the miseries do not affect the person.
