The Spiritual Teaching of Ramana Maharshi

The Spiritual Teaching of Ramana Maharshi This book is by far the best introductory book on Sri Ramana's teachings. The contents are in Question and Answer format. After reading this book, most readers would want a practical book which puts Sri Ramana's teachings together in a logical and practical format and also would want to start practicing self-enquiry. For them I recommend the book 'Path of Sri Ramana, Part I' by Sri Sadhu Om. (Sri Sadhu Om is a direct disciple of Sri Ramana and also the closest associate of Sri Ramana's foremost disciple, Sri Muruganar). 'Path of Sri Ramana, part one' is by far the best practical book on Ramana's teachings. It walks you through the logic behind self- enquiry step-by-step and then, in the final chapter, describes the technique of self-enquiry. You should be able to start practicing after reading this book. JK: Part 6: Desire arises (6:13): Do not have a conflict with it neither do you yield to it (else the life of getting and losing begins). To control is to suppress it – it will arise again. Just observe. Let it flower – the very flowering of it is the end of it. Just watch it – be fully aware of what’s happening – very sensitive, choice less watch. It naturally weathers away – you don’t have to do something about it. The moment you control – there is conflict. Choice less observation (without judging it). Let it flower and disappear. You will be free from it! Part 7: The Controller is the Controlled. It is like going round in circles. What is meditation : 15:20 - When you are angry, when you are greedy – observe it AS IT IS. Not to condemn it, not to judge it but to watch it and let it flower and disappear. Observe it without the past. So that anger flowers and disappears. If you do that then you will never be angry again.

The Spiritual Teaching of Ramana Maharshi
This book is by far the best introductory book on Sri Ramana's teachings. The contents are in Question and Answer format. After reading this book, most readers would want a practical book which puts Sri Ramana's teachings together in a logical and practical format and also would want to start practicing self-enquiry. For them I recommend the book 'Path of Sri Ramana, Part I' by Sri Sadhu Om.

JK:
Part 6: Desire arises (6:13): Do not have a conflict with it neither do you yield to it (else the life of getting and losing begins). To control is to suppress it – it will arise again. Just observe. Let it flower – the very flowering of it is the end of it. Just watch it – be fully aware of what’s happening – very sensitive, choice less watch. It naturally weathers away – you don’t have to do something about it.
The moment you control – there is conflict.
Choice less observation (without judging it). Let it flower and disappear. You will be free from it!
Part 7: The Controller is the Controlled. It is like going round in circles.
What is meditation: 15:20 - When you are angry, when you are greedy – observe it AS IT IS. Not to condemn it, not to judge it but to watch it and let it flower and disappear.
Observe it without the past. So that anger flowers and disappears. If you do that then you will never be angry again.
To allow, through observation, in which there is no choice, just to observe your greed, your envy, your jealousy whatever it be and in the very observation of it, it is flowering and undergoing a radical change.
The very observation, without the background, brings about a change. If there is no background, it there is no observer who is the background.
To be aware of oneself, without any choice and to see what is actually happening in the now is to allow the whole movement of the self for me to flower.
