REALIZING NON–DUAL LIBERATION, ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY – PT 141
[The Teaching of Non-Duality has been adapted from Master Nome, disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Sections appended below derive from Sri Ramana’s Teaching.]
The descriptions of the Self & the negation of attributes & limited definitions of the Self, such as that it is bodiless, non-sensory, without Life-Energy (prana), free from thought, etc., would be meaningless if they referred to some sort of other Self different from the aspirant’s own True Self. There are not 2 selves in the same one being. There is 1 Self, & when known as it is, it is Infinite & Eternal, not a being, but just Pure Existence. To realize this, the Knowledge of oneself as the Self, free from the Body & such, must become as certain & steady as the belief of a human being that he is a human being, which a human being does not doubt on any occasion.
[Ramana]
Friendship, equality, kindness, Happiness & such other attitudes become natural to the Self-Realized jnani. Affection towards the good, kindness towards the helpless, Happiness in doing good deeds, forgiveness towards the wicked, all such things are natural characteristics of the jnani.
