Sri Ramana Gita.

This is the first Chapter entitled ‘On the importance of upasana’

These questions were asked by Ganapti Muni. The questions are 8 and i will write one question and one answer by Maharishi Ramana.

  1. I bow to Maharishi Ramana, God in human form and set forth teaching in this lucid work.
  2. In the year 1913 of the Christian era, on the 29th of cold December when all the disciples were seated around with with attentive minds, I (Vasishta Ganapati) asked Bhagavan Maharishi Ramana for definite answers
  3. Question no 1; Is Mukti to be had by mere discrimination between the real and unreal or are there other means for the ending of bondage?
  4. Answer: Abidance in the self alone releases one from all bounds. Discrimination between real and unreal leads to non-attachment.
  5. Comments; mind is not real , it is seen ,we can see our mind what it is doing, but I (self) is separate from it. we can not find mind in deep sleep beacuse it merges in the self (Atama). but in deep sleep we are in ignorence but it merges in the self . but by practicing self-inquiry in the stage of Samadhi it merges in the self and we find that bliss which is our real state.
