i have not finish the book and have never written a review before, but i would like to express my gratitude to the great spiritual teacher for putting me on the path to a better life full of beauty and the clarity that we are one.
Yes, it's a classic! (19/19 people found this helpful)
This guy certainly knew the truth about what spirituality is all about - discovering the real, mysterious Self ever present within you. The only criticism of the great man is that he didn't seem to understand just how difficult it can be for the average seeker to grasp this teaching and apply it. If enlightenment were so easy we'd all be good at achieving it, and at times in this book you feel the great man's wisdom was compromised slightly by an ironic lack of sensitivity appreciating that finding the Self is not as straightforward and simple as he suggests. However, it's a masterful display of spiritual wisdom and advice. Although, you are also left wondering if a man/book like this can come into the world and mass society is STILL left mostly in spiritual darkness, what chance is there ever of mass enlightenment. The message I suppose, is that we all have to save ourselves and not worry about the rest! The world changes the instance you change YOURSELF. Read this book and good luck.
Truthful and sensitive presentation of Ramana Maharshi (42/51 people found this helpful)
I have read many books about Ramana Maharshi and his teaching, but this one is THE BEST. Ramana Maharshi was one of the greatest spiritual masters of this century, and this beautiful book does him full justice.
