Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Ramana Maharshi was one of the most significant spiritual teachers to emerge from India during the first half of the century, and remains widely admired. This recent collection of conversations between him and the many seekers who came to his ashram for guidance contains the essence of his teaching. His concern throughout his long life of imparting his experience to others was to convince his listeners that self-realisation - or enlightenment - is not an alien or mysterious state, but the natural condition of man. This state can be easily discovered by undertaking the self-investigation clearly described in these talks. The lucid instructions to each section provide further illumination of this greater seer's message.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on non-duality., Jul 7 2003
By Zen (sherman oaks, ca United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
BE AS YOU ARE is full of well rounded questions and answers on all topics of interest to the spiritual seeker.
If you're inclined to "bare bones" essentials in your spiritual teachings this is a highly recommended book. The core teaching is self-inquiry, a method of keeping sharp focus on the Self. Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj were both well known for very direct approaches to spirituality. This book shows how Ramana Maharshi keeps his teachings very simple and direct from all angles. How he addresses questions to
subjects like: Surrender, Meditation, Yoga, Mantras, Reincarnation, Karma and many, many other topics posed to him. He always found a way to keep all these topics aligned with knowing the Self, your unconditioned state. If there is one thing this book does is help streamline many different angles and teachings into one core practice: Dive inside the "I AM" know that intimimately until you know you are not the body.
If you like this book and Ramana Maharshi I highly recommend The Power of Now also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be As You Are "in your Real state", May 29 2002
By A Customer
This is the meaning of this title. Needs some experience in phylosophy to understand the content of this book, not just the reading of some other books. I simply amazed to see the greatness and simplicity in the teachings of this Saint. He says the Self is right here and now, all that we need to do is wake up and see the Reality. The Saint preaches some really easy method of Realization which simply works! You dont have to break your nervous system to see that Reality! Simply great! Very encouraging for practical people. Finally, the editing done by Godman is simply a great collection of content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ramana's teaching is absolute truth, Mar 21 2002
By Shawn Regan (marietta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Contains the words of a true man of understanding. I would venture to guess everything you might need as a spiritual seeker is contained in this single book. Ramana describes his own unique brand of seeking known as "Enquiry" where unlike conventional meditation of controlling thoughts and stilling the mind, one tries to root out the source of the thoughts one identify's with to get at the root "I-thought". Ramana maintains that all forms of meditation will lead one to "Self Enquiry" eventually.
