I have this book and always meant to ask you why it wasn’t on your recommended reading list. It was actually the very first book I had of Ramana Maharshi’s teachings.
This is such a simple but wonderful video, I will remember that whenever I feel I need to do something in order to be ‘whole’, more complete, fulfilled, or more than I already am, to stop, be silent, and know that I am already that wholeness and bliss. When abiding as the Self there is nothing to want or need, when forgetting my true nature I go back into ‘not being enough’.
Not being enough and being unlovable are my old core beliefs, I know these not to be truth. At the moment it’s a dance between these but I do feel that more often than not I am at peace, and feel complete, blissful and happy. I wonder is in natural to fluctuate a little like this before Self abiding becomes continuous without this forgetting? Even after the seeking outside of myself has decreased significantly, perhaps almost stopped. I will return to Satsang to ask you in person as you offer so much already. Thank you!
