My experience of self-inquiry

Today I was sitting in the practice of self-inquiry. Usually, I do this practice for 2hours in the morning and two hours in the evening sitting. My mind was going outside into worldly objects. But I didn’t stop my practice then it started to be calm. That is why I am writing this post. Our mind has been use to go outside and never want to be calm. From so many lives it is wandering outside. Like a bird who is caught in the net. by total effort, it wants to come out of the net. It only stops when it dies. So to gain this eternal bliss more practice is needed.

18th question of self-inquiry

Of the devotees who is the greatest?

Answer by Maharishi Ramana: He who gives himself up to the Self, which is God, is the most excellent devotee. Giving one’s self up to God means remaining constantly in the self without giving room for the rise of any thoughts other than that the self.

Whatever burdens are thrown on God, he bears them since the supreme power of God makes all things move. Why should we, without submitting ourselves with thoughts as to what should be done and how, and what should be not done and how not? We know that the train carries all the loads, so we after getting on it why should we carry our small luggage on our heads to our discomfort, instead of putting it down on the train and feeling at ease?

A question to Maharishi Ramana ( December 1913)

How will the mind become quiescent?)

Maharishi Raman; by the inquiry “Who am I “? The thought “Who am I”? Will destroy all other thoughts, and like the stick used for stirring the burning pyre, it will itself in the end get destroyed. Then there will arise Self-realization.

Mind and world

Even though both the mind and the world rise and set together, the mind lights the world. The source from which the mind and world rise and into which they set is the reality ( self or ataman ) that doesn’t rise or subside: Maharishi Ramana.

Comments:

Our self, which is an observer of our body and mind, is reality. Our mind is in front of us. We can see our minds, and we say, please tell me again, my mind, not hearing it was thinking of another person. So you can see your mind because it is different from the you(self ). When the mind goes out, we can see the world, and when it is inward, then the world disappears. In a deep sleep, there is no mind and, therefore, no world. In deep meditation or samadhi, there is no mind and world also. Only bliss shines here.
