I want to begin by trying to make a clear and straightforward statement about what I have to offer (and the only thing that I really have much interest in), which is the self-inquiry that destroys the false belief that you are your life.

The self-inquiry that I speak of (which came to me as a consequence of trying with all my heart to understand, to hear, to get what Ramana was offering) has very little to do with anything that we are accustomed to hearing in the spiritual realm. It has nothing to do with enlightenment, or realization, awakening or the gaining of any siddhis or powers. It has nothing to do with any of that.

It has to do with the recognition (which is accessible to us all if we reflect upon it) that the only problem anywhere to be found in all of humanity is a false belief about what we are. And that false belief is the false belief that we are our lives. What I mean by "our lives" is everything whatsoever that you see, do, think, remember, experience, suspect, think about, and so forth.
