The New Yoga - "Who Am I "




Ramana Maharshi was a great intellectual giant, who encouraged Self-enquiry or "Who am I " ?

When a thought arises, ask to whom doth this thought occur . You will come to know it is occurring to "I". Go deep and ask " Who is this I ?".

We have had many experiences. Most of them torrid. In Meditation, just go and ask " Who is the experiencer ?". It will all come back to "I"

" The true Self-enquiry is Bhakthi " said Sankara ( Swaswaroopasya Anusandhanam Bhakthirithi Abhidheeyate ).

He spake " In the Infinite Sky of Consciousness, the Sun of Self-Realisation shines bright and brilliant. Disperse the cloud of Ego obstructing the moonlight of Consciousness and the bud of Truth begins to blossom. It is the Peaceful Whole.

The Absolute Brahman becomes so to say the Cosmic Mind and spreads the world. As it thinks, so it becomes. It is the Lord of Creation. There is no other. Dissolve the mind by thinking about its dual nature. The mind gains peace by meditating on the Ultimate Reality."
