Description

For those who appreciate  I Am That by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj this is a similar book,by another enlightened being – Sri Ramana Maharshi. Amazon link:4.5/5 starshttp://www.amazon.com/Be-You-Are-Teachings-Maharshi/dp/01401…Quote:The book is divided into six general sections on the nature and experience of the Self, the practice of self-enquiry that leads to this experience, the role of the guru, the place for meditation and yoga, levels or varieties of religious experience, and theoretical metaphysical concerns (creation, reincarnation, God, suffering, and karma). Each general section contains three to five subordinate topics treated in a unified conversation. Of particular value are Godman’s one or two page introductions to each section and topic that read sequentially provide an excellent introduction to and summary of Raman’s teaching. While the introduction and composite conversations are sometimes repetitious, Ramana’s concepts are sufficiently obscure that repetition is a clarifying desideratum.About Sri Ramana Maharshi:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramana_Maharshi
