Bhagavan Ramana Teachings:
So when it is asked 'When the Self Inquiry is already mentioned in scriptures, what new revelation has been made by
Bhagavan?' The answer is easy and ready for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
Though Self Inquiry is mentioned in the scriptures, the actual method of practicing it is not clearly given. The scriptures
give clues, it is true, such as, 'You are not the body, prana, mind, etc., you are Brahman', bur these clues do not emphasize
how to put it into practice. Such meditation brings in again another activity of mind - any act by the mind fetters oneself.
We start with meditation but soon find ourselves where we started! Perhaps, noticing this constant riddle continuing in spite
of existing scriptural statements, the Supreme Reality which gave those scriptures, out of profound compassion for the human
race, has come again in the comely form of Bhagavan Ramana, in order to give easier clues to find the Truth that can be readily
understood, practiced and realized by the common man.
