Second Ring

The journals of Sri Sadhu Om have been called the
most detailed and clearly expressed instructions ever written on the practice
of Self-inquiry as advocated by Ramana Maharshi. The following are from his book: The Path of Sri
Ramana, which is available at David Godman's website.
|
|
Self-Inquiry - Sri Sadhu Om (chapter 7) |
|
Self-inquiry is only an aid to Self-Awareness; only
Self-Awareness is the True Direct Path.
|
|
Although we formally refer to [Self-attention] as
‘directed’, in truth it is not of the nature of a ‘doing’ in the form
of directing or being directed; it is of the nature of ‘being’ or ‘existing’.

by the scholar/translator Michael James, but one that offers interesting
