Description
Ramana Maharshi says that to live in the past or to dwell on the future, unmindful of the present is like counting without the number one. Why? Because all experience is in the present, in the ‘now’. The ‘Now’ holds the key; it is the ‘open sesame’ for being in tune with eternity. If the mind is to hold on to the present it’s back and forth movements have to be switched off. For an alert and still mind, Ramana has given an infallible means, self enquiry. In this the focus of attention is on the individual, the subject, in contrast to the straying attention of the mind on different objects. Such a focus dawn in discovering the surging joy of our own natural state.
This book covers articles by those who have meditated deeply on Ramana’s teachings and are seriously pursuing the path revealed by him.
The book has a foreword by Sri R. Venkataraman, former President of India.
