17:14 There is no ABC on how to do self inquiry. It's like learning how to ride a bike. Each time you go a little bit further. In self inquiry there are good and not so good days. Ultimately you focus on who is aware of thoughts and emotions. Hold on to that. Watch it and see where it takes you.

I have enormous respect for David Godman and much gratitude for his explication of Bhagavan's teachings. His breadth of knowledge and scholarship in all matters having to do with Bhagavan are virtually unparalleled and he is a treasure trove of stories about Bhagavan, as well as a clear expositor of the teachings themselves. Someone with that amount of erudition could easily become self-inflated and arrogant, but my experience of David is quite the opposite--he is humble and unpretentious. Thank you again, David, for your insight, wisdom and encouragement.

Since the past 9 years of search this is the best which came directly pointed me to self realization and awareness 🙏 my deep gratitude to Ramana Maharishi and David Goldman

Thankyou David Godman. I found the I subsided and I just woke up one morning as the Self. The I was the self not the person anymore. Sfter a couple of weeks this samadhi continuous left because i followed a vasana. But now I know how it came about. It worked for myself without really doing self enquiry or perhaps there was a little of self enquiry mixed in . BUT the crucial point repeatedly hearing I am the Brahman Self , I am that Shiva on a youtube video meditation was enough really. It killed the outward tendencies and as you said /bhagwan says the self pulled me in. Thankyou , thankyou it all makes sense now... I got confused listening to M James but you are more clear. My mistake was seeking validation from someone whom is not a guru. Now I know i don't need it. I am and everybody is that self. Bhagwans teacjings alone are enough. thankyou for this video henri...

And my mind said no, it wouldn’t let go of that individual I. My mind was morning the loss of the individual I, it was realizing that it would be no longer. I was scared of that death of the individual I. It’s been with me for such a long time. The death of the individual I is very scary for me. I don’t understand why, it doesn’t hold anything at all for me, the individual I makes me miserable. I can see right through it. It’s very frustrating to me. I just wanted to put that out there, maybe that will help me find the peace that I know we all have

Gita 3.27 prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvasah ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate All activities are carried out automatically by nature, based on our 3 gunas. The deluded ego thinks it is the doer. What Sir Godman is saying is that the Gunas can be sattva one day and mind calm and tamas next day and feels like day 1. Only way is to observe both and not get attached to any mood - however blissful or distasteful it is.

The world of form begins and ends in sleep...Pure Changeless Awareness... Your every thought is a trance...a spell...brought upon Awareness...which is peace Itself. In Pure Awareness there is no diversity whatsoever...

Who’s aware of the thoughts is one thing but who is thinking them

From the same work " Can anyone do this enquiry ? Maharishi.." No this is only for ripe souls "

Every time I listen to this I feel like all that I’ve been thinking about is so stupid.

IMO Ramana was giving the supreme dharma for Tamil Brahmins who have spent many lifetimes in meditation, and who comprised 90% of his followers when he was alive. It is a path which is akin to a PhD for those sincere seekers who already have a Master's Degree in Self Enquiry, and have only to cover that final spur to Nirvilkalpa Samadhi. The problem is that most of us, including the gentle folk in this film, are like Kindergaarten sadhakas, trying to scale a vertical cliff without a secure guide rope; the guide rope being a system of techniques such a given in Raja or Kriya Yoga, which will more quickly get us to the point of asking that question to which the answer can only be AHAM BRAHMASMI.

🙏

If you do self- enquiry always focus on the first person (you are).Ask the question and be you are. Dont always searching for the "I"

simply put...abide in "perpherall vision" with no focus mind goes silent. shift to Periphral vision.and experience peace.

Focusing at the upper tip of the nose between the eyebrows

It's ironic that a movie about discovery of the pure “I”, starts with the director's self-introduction “I am” this, “I am” that, the very false sense of “I" with its sense of individual identity that the movie focused on. Turning inward: Who is this I perceiving such irony? Who is this I that is aware? Who am I?

why should SRM say that the source of the 'I' is on the right side of the chest, when the heart is physiologically located in the centre of the chest, and slightly to the left?

"summa/chumma iru" = "just be"

Inquiry to I, is it not, but to "I AM" , translated is "BEING" also you must explaine it to your mind, so it can release the stucked energy and dualistic answer seeking, the mind is not an enemy. It wise to not go in discussion with thoughts but to agree with the thoughts it than stops. The name of God in the Bible is, I am, that, I am, and that of Jesus is I am liberation. All is being, seen and unseen outof one source, the happiness is to clearly understand that and the mind will become one with it or peace of mind. The mind seeks his master not in mind but in being, I AM - THAT--I AM or Being-Being and always is, where fear completely is gone.

The Buddha then asked ânanda: ‘What do you mean by hearing and not hearing?’ ânanda and the others replied: ‘If the bell is rung, we call it hearing and when the sound and its echo stop, we call it not hearing.’ The Buddha again ordered Ràhula to ring the bell and asked ânanda: ‘Is there any sound?’ ânanda and the others replied that there was a sound of the bell. A little later when it could no longer be heard, the Buddha asked again: ‘Is there any sound?’ They all replied that there was none. Then Ràhula rang the bell again and the Buddha asked: ‘Is there any sound?’ They all replied in the affirmative. The Buddha then asked ânanda: ‘What do you mean by sound and no sound?’ ânanda and the others replied that if the bell was rung, there was sound and when both the sound and its echo stopped, this was called no sound. The Buddha said: ‘Why did you talk so wildly?’ ânanda and the others asked: ‘Why do you say that we talked wildly?’ The Buddha said: ‘When I asked you about hearing, you spoke of hearing and when I asked you about the sound, you spoke of it. So merely about hearing and sound, your answers were ambiguous; how could they not be called wild? Why Buddha called Ananda answer wild?

14:00 start 37:53 who am i 39:07 wrong identification

If you "Do" self-inquiry, you will do until your death. In doing there is a doer, that is, MOTIVE. Do you SEE how thought has tricked you all? I have heard David Godman say in one of the videos that once a man asked Bagawan,"I have done self-inquiry for last 25 years and I have not attained anything, and Bagawan seemed to have replied, in that case, do it for another 25 years". The only fact Bagawan is trying to help you SEE is the fact that "I" is just a thought, it is NOT independent of THOUGHT. When thought is not there, is there a thinker? Thinker and Thought are one and the same. For example, a computer that you use or a mobile phone exists whether you think about it or not, but the "I" is there when there is no thought? "I" exists as long as thought exists. The final answer is "I" is just a THOUGHT. It's not a reality. Just grasp this TRUTH and be extremely alert. The day will come automatically but you may not know when and where. Alertness! Alertness! Alertness! That's all you can do.

Self inquiry by the ancient wise men. You are not the body and mind, you are Eternal Spirit trapped in the body and mind, you were Eternal Spirit,you are now Eternal Spirit and always will be you have forgotten over many incarnations, you have become identified with the physical body and mind, the Fallen Angel and Original Sin or Original mistake metaphors. Meditation - Observation- Separation is the ancient practice of putting the body and mind to sleep but staying AWAKE and ALERT inside and separate from the body and mind until you remember and EXPERIENCE yourself as Eternal Spirit. If you remain in your original and natural State after Meditation it is known as Self Realization by Yogananda,The Tao Cosmic Consciousness,Leaving the body ( going inside) but not dying by Socrates Ramana Maharishi and Krishnamurti, Nirvana, Heaven within Luke 17 21, Awake as Eternal Spirit again-Buddha, Moksha, Obtaining the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology, Virtue by Socrates and the Stoic Saints, Garden of Eden, Prodigal Son, Etc all the same .this is the Self Inquiry as by Ramana Maharishi and others throughout the history and Evolution of the world..... There was never a time when I did not exist nor you, nor will there be any future when we shall see to be . Sri Krishna ,The Bhagavad Gita ❤️

The body mind complex appears in consciousness so is of consciousness itself, the 'awake dream' in which we find ourselves is our reality, you can't expect an illusion to know it isn't real except by a leap of faith which puts it in the realm of religions. I have listened (with admiration) to Swami Sarvapriyananda's teachings on the logic of the Rishi's, of meditation practices,etc. but it is all done with 'mind'.
