When one engages in Self Inquiry for prolonged periods, there is a surrender that comes naturally. That is at least my experience. Thank you Michael for your beautiful voice and exposition!

Surrender..surrender and surender this is living in awareness where thoughts are nowhere.It should be practiced and this is the only sure practice that will hasten realization of the true self.Go on living in awareness..where thoughts disappear.

This verily true.Self enquiry is not a cup of tea which you enjoy and forget..taste and flavour will be forgotten as a distant reminiscence,but prolonged enquiry hits you from all sides,even pin pricks you emotionally and intellectually till one day suddenly you remark that you Are walking on the path inadvertantly without any effort.Each word of the scripture will take you in it's embrace moulding and sublimating lower energy to higher ones.

THis is the concise & elaborate teaching I was thirsting for..This is the flow of grace in my life, because it hits and touched me ways beyond words..Wish to know the text Michael is quoting from and if We people can benefit from a translated version of the original. Roumbaa Thanks.Its all due to Bhagavan'grace, I must admit..sublime teachings like this does not come in one's life from nowhere.Its like the mutka which burst when hit by Kandha/Krishnah.I'll forever be indebted to Ramanashram and Bhagavan.Humble prostrations unto Him.

Michael we are blessed you be able to hear you - as you said it is only Bhagwan’s Grace that we come to Him. It is Bhagwan’s Grace that we are here with you . This is pure gold! We will have to listen to it a million times to get what you are trying to tell us and what Bhagwan has said!! You have attained Mukti - that is what I believe. Pranam 🙏🙇‍♀️

Who says Sri Bhagavan didn't leave disciples? He didn't give mantra diksha in the orthodox manner, but he transmitted the highest truth to his direct disciples like Muruganar and Sadhu Om, and then we have people like Michael James who was with Sadhu Om for so long in Tiruvannamalai. The lineage is clear: Sri Bhagavan--Sadhu Om--Michael James (and many other similar lineages: Kanakammal, for instance, had the privilege of learning both from Sri Bhagavan and then from Muruganar). We as devotees are in the same lineage, and there is no greater blessing than that! Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya.

sanjeev nath, jnana is our real nature. Sri Bhagavan Ramana Arunachala Siva is omnipresent and infinite jnana. Therefore Bhagavan and jnana have no lineage. Having a lineage is at most an idea of devotees. Of course, we all should be grateful for hearing the profound explanations of Michael James.

@@josefbruckner7154 Well, it depends on how one sees it. The greatest Advaita texts such as the Mandukya Upanishad declare that there is no search, no seeker, nothing to attain. In fact, to do sadhana is in a way is a sign of weakness. I am the truth, jnana swarupa, so what do I have to try to achieve? But for most people, sadhana is necessary, devotion is necessary. All sadhana is dualistic, and it is through dulaistic sadhana that one finally realizes the Advaitic assertion that one is jnana swarupa. And when we talk of sadhana we talk of lineage. Sri Bhagavan Himself began with the deepest devotion possible. The young Venkataraman who wept before Meenakshi Amman realized His true nature incredibly quickly, while ordinary mortals like me plod through sadhana slowly...Anyway, thank you so much for your response.

@@sanjeevnath4350, so long as we identify ourselves with ego-mind-body sadhana and devotion are necessary. Even young Venkataraman seemed to be an "ordinary mortal" till July 1896. Therefore "plodding through sadhana slowly" is the best way for us. Atma vichara is to be considered as a dualistic sadhana only in the early stage. Kind regards to you.

Any experience the body experiences - Even seeing you are everything - What would be the point ? Imp-Person-all-Awareness It has to create trauma in order for the imaging system to remember as the person pictured as a body via a contracted sense of energy in the body - IE: Only a void or negative felling can be appeased - Parasitic eye strap from chest to head occupied by a superimposed phantom or ego which can't be seen due to looking from it -This fantasist action figure in the head is the dreamer - It is written to by King Duo David Morphic TV's shadow cast it mimics and pays attention to - It is the orchestration of the Trinity via silent thought which talks to the phantom via subtlety supplanted ideas pulled by polarised and myopic outlook - And being a projector system and a myriad, phenomena can be seen which is not actually happening A qualium wave function, also know as rock of offence or Shiva Lingam creates particles before they are seen - A supposed phantom sits in the head and is talked to via a para-site in the body via silent thought - This phantom uses the Trinity rendering the person concomitant to thought which is morphologically prescribed to behind the clock by King Duo David TV - Carbon ameliorates with water and amplifies physical pain and can't be seen due to looking from it. This over cloaked space suit thinking it is the body obscures the real according to spiritual books. But remove the shakti lamp too together with rod - Including any light that you are thus imagine - The ego = We might be battling the unknown if they don’t - Once you know Father Christmas isn’t real, you can never get back to believing he’s real again ??? Not knowing what had happened would have been intolerable - I’m finding that there’s something else going on, nothing to do with reading a book ??? - It’s strange, it’s like it’s not in the words but maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the words ??? - It’s definitely not in the ideas and yet maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the ideas, maybe it would be, people go on silent retreats !!! And that’s the system itself - The things/objects are over (Cloak) emphasised and the awareness is under-played - (Thus awareness is not being conscious, it’s what we’re conscious of - To tell you your trapped by inferring that there is a you which could be free to think there’s a better way - But there’s an ideation of an image called selfing - The mental state points to the after as being the before - (Language emphasis there is an us and uses the subjective experience to make an object of ideation IE: Your the all that’s been thinking about) But there isn’t a self doing the selfing that implies there’s a self doing it - There’s a mechanical system doing: Thus is reinforcing the nouning that your not - Not. ‘Knot’ Mamma has died in the night - Looking from the bondage of self (As self) - Contracted energy or pseudo eye strap from chest to head over cloaked by a superimposed phantom which orchestrates the Trinity which actuates the body. It may have a real importance to being wrong because it will be right about how wrong it believes you are, so your wondering why your messing things up because then it can be right about how wrong you are. And as for the world: I can’t afford enough time that I was sinking, because if this thing had been cleaned we’d be talking six figures. We’re open all hours but will be closing soon because the moon is moving away from the earth and 2cm per day. You won’t recognise where your here because you believe you can be somewhere else. The black prince only makes sense because it is seen against a white background. I’m not going to fuss to much about the inside but it’s looking better already. It could have been different behind the clock. It’s like trying to do a jigsaw when you haven’t got the picture on the box. Demons aren’t what you were thinking. If I wanted to go down I couldn’t because I’d already drank to much. What’s your looking for ? IE: Haven’t we been established, the sanity has replaced the insanity that preceded the first drink ! They found him last night, I can’t believe it, I thought he was gone forever. If they take off in the fog they’ll never land it. And if they try to they’ll crash. You think you want freedom, but if you know what freedom means, you will run away from that. The Matt and Satin finish is yet to be de-term-Inn’ed. How far into this clock have ever been I hadn’t had a drink since then. The Susan Morphew Case, ‘Nothing is what it seems’ -------

If a person would just sit and do nothing surrendering every thought and action to God both good and bad, giving responsibility for everything to God, the "I" will disappear and the Self will be revealed. The reason people don't realize God is because they cling to the "I" thought and the things of the world. You cannot serve both God and mamon.

I am sorry for being obtuse here, but I need clarification. When doing self inquiry and asking “To whom does this thought appear “ , the ‘I’ that responds- is it the ego self or the pure self?
