Self-Enquiry

'I am' denotes Self and 'who' stands for the enquiry. It does not mean enquiring into a second or third person object. Also, Self (atman) does not exist as an object to be known by us who seek to know it!
Ramana Maharishi

Truth

The world is indeed a mixture of truth and make-believe. Discard the makebelieve and take the truth.

Happy Diwali

With Diwali just a couple of days away, here's wishing all my readers a "HAPPY DIWALI".

While bursting crackers spare a thought for the elderly, ill and the animals on the road.

Be safe, be happy, opt for a noise-free Diwali!

Self-Realization

By negating "what you are not",
Vedanta helps you realize the Self.
You are Existence, Awareness and Bliss.

Adi Shankara.
