    Self-enquiry

    Ramana Maharshi

    Self-enquiry, also spelled self-inquiry, is the constant attention to the inner awareness of "I" or "I am" recommended by Ramana Maharshi as the most efficient and direct way of discovering the unreality of the "I"-thought. Ramana Mahirishi taught that the "I"-thought will disappear and only "I-I" or self-awareness remains. This results in an "effortless awareness of being", and by staying with it this "I-I" gradually destroys the vasanas "which cause the 'I'-thought to rise," and finally the 'I'-thought never rises again, which is Self-realization or liberation.

    Self-inquiry is the tip of a spear — as I use it here, it is a "technique" (I put quotes around it because it's not exactly a technique) taught by the Indian holy man and sage Ramana Maharshi — as the kind of distillation of the wisdom of advaita (that means "non-dual") Vedanta. Vedanta is the Hindu mystical tradition, and it ...

    Ramana Maharshi's sudden realization (or enlightenment) led to his teaching of a practice called self-inquiry. In self-inquiry, we ask ourselves who is the seer (or the awareness that views all of our experiences).
