Finding Who You Really Are

The secret to self-enquiry is tracing the thought of I back to its source. By constantly focusing on your inner sense of existence, you eventually realize that your everyday personality is just a passing mental construct.

Ramana Maharshi taught that the constant feeling of I is not who you truly are but merely a habitual thought. When you relentlessly ask yourself who is experiencing these thoughts, the identity of the ego begins to dissolve. This leaves behind a silent, peaceful awareness that exists beneath the surface of your daily personality. It is considered a radical shortcut to enlightenment by bypassing complex rituals and logic entirely.
