Quotes and excerpts from the book “Final Talks”, by Annamalai Swami.
Ātmā Vicāra (विचार), is a Sanskrit term that means the process of investigating who we really are, the investigation into the Nature of Being.
This technique is the one that best exemplifies Jñāna Yoga, the Yoga of Knowledge about Oneself.
Self-inquiry meditation is the constant attention to the inner awareness of the “I” or “I am”, recommended by Ramana Maharshi as the most efficient and direct way to discover the unreality of the “I” thought.
Annamalai Swami (1906 - 1995), was a master of Advaita Vedanta, direct disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
In 1938, after ten years of work and devotion, Sri Ramana asked Annamalai Swami to leave the Ashram and dedicate himself exclusively to the solitary meditation of Atma Vichara. He then moved to a nearby house where he practiced self-inquiry for decades and eventually, through devoted service to Bhagavan and rigorous practice of sādhana, achieved Self-Realization.
His teaching in simple language became valuable advice to seekers, as his direct experience gave him practical knowledge on how to achieve success in Self-Realization through self-inquiry.

Set the intention before meditation to only observe....... Love it. In the past I would meditate to quiet my mind but this is a much better way ❤

@morneaugustyn3979 I'm so happy to hear that you've found a new perspective on meditation! 😊 The intention of just observing can really transform the experience. When we meditate to calm the mind, we can end up creating expectations and, if we cannot calm down, we can become frustrated. But by just observing, we embrace the present as it is, without judgment. 🌟 It's wonderful to see how the practice evolves into something deeper and more meaningful. Continue on this path of love and acceptance! 💖

@Peter-rg4ng Perfect! ☁️🌤️ The sky remains serene and undisturbed regardless of the passing clouds. This is also our true essence, always at peace, despite the challenges that arise. 🙏🏻✨
A constant reminding to abide in awareness while performing our daily activities. Each time we forget this, we gently get back to this practice.
