About This Book

Edited by David Godman, this is the most accessible and well-organized anthology of Ramana Maharshi's teachings, drawn from conversations spanning several decades. Arranged thematically — covering Self-inquiry, the mind, the guru, meditation, samadhi, and liberation — it serves both as an introduction for newcomers and a comprehensive reference for serious practitioners of Advaita.

What You'll Learn

Self-inquiry is the most direct path to liberation because it attacks the root of the problem — the mistaken identification with a separate self. The guru is not different from the Self; the outer teacher only points to what is already present within. Spiritual practice is necessary only as long as one believes oneself to be separate from the Self.
