I have just recently gone through Ramana Maharishi’s 40 verses on self-realisation, basically the English translation of the Ulladu Narpadu, which was written in Tamil language. Then I stumbled upon the YouTube videos on this topic, elaborated by Swami Ramanacharna Tirtha. I would heartily recommend the book reading supplemented by the 37 discourses, to all those who feel so drawn.
The Upanishads have also obviously dived deep into the enigmatic subject of Self, our true being, as have texts like the Ashtavakra Gita. I am sure most here would be familiar with these ancient teachings of the sages. Then of course we have this forum itself, videos of Mooji, Rupert Spira, Swami Sarvapriyananda and many others.
The knowing that is academic however, being conceptual, does not offer us the taste of what is. So we must see directly with our inner eye. Perhaps there is no infallible direct method available for this, other than slowing down thoughts which feed the ego, our false self, so that as silence deepens, in timeless time we see the light … literally.
I look forward to your inputs on what your non-dual recognition is, what the Self actually is, which Ramana equates with God or universal consciousness.
Let us say it like it is for us.
