You ARE the Truth

“One could cause God through alchemy. But even if that God tells you something don’t believe it. If I come in front of you, don’t believe it. The Seer is most important. You are. That is most important. Concentrate on the Seer, not on the seen. All that you see is false and the Seer alone is true. All knowledge you gather is useless, until you hold on to your Self. You are the Truth, not what is being told to you, not what you see.” Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi

You cannot see the Self: you can only BE the Self.
You are always the Self; only the veil of ignorance hides this truth.

This veil is nothing but a cloud of thoughts.

When the attention is focussed outwards, the world appears.
Turn the attention inwards, focus on the one who sees, not the objects seen.
Seek the root, the source from which the “I” thought arises.
Thus, the effort is to turn within, to be still and silent and empty, to just rest in pure Being.
You do this every night when you fall asleep…..now do it consciously!
This is the only goal of all sadhana.

Atma vichara, the process of Self -inquiry, is a simple technique : ask Who am I? and Whence did I arise? and consistently focus your attention inwards.
Do this with great earnestness, with love and faith.

As you go deeper into yourself, a point arises where something inside awakens.
Something opens, like a flower blossoming; something throbs and hums within.
When you feel this, let go of everything!

All effort ceases at this point -the Divine takes over.
The ego-mind dissolves like a salt-doll in the ocean that is Being.
Here there is only infinite Love and Light.
Just abide here in blissful peace.

Nothing more needs to be done.
