ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY–pt195
[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]
Realization of the
Self is the greatest help that can be rendered to humanity. Therefore, the Sages are said to be helpful,
though they remain in forests. But it
should not be forgotten that solitude is
not in forests only. It can be had even
in towns, in the thick of Worldly occupations.
