48 years ago I started "self inquiry". It got so I found myself already practicing as a I woke up in the morning. A self employed carpenter, I could practice all day. 2 days ago I got results. The only reason I stayed with it is that only while practicing did I feel alive. 2 days ago I got an organic feeling of the Oneness of all things.

So glad Papaji encouraged you to write Sir. Your work is an inspiration! Much gratitude🙏

The most authentic talks on Bhagawān’, Calm voice makes these so good to hear. Bhagawān’ is too precious for just anyone to speak about him

Silly, anyone can speak about anyone.

Shri Godman ...thank you very much for your selfless and great work in bringing us to Bhagavan. May you live long, healthy and happy by His grace

Thank you, David, for your tireless service for us seekers of the truth. May you be free... Love from Monika

I need to watch this every day.... Thank you Mr.Godman!

Dear Davidji...I haven't even finished watching this video in full ....already feeling a bit teary eyed that I found this commentary....just two days ago I surrendered my job job search to God (unemployed for a while now) along with one other issue that I has caused me pain and sadness for 30 years....I have been putting the effort to find a job on a daily basis but leaving the fruits up to God...I hope I never to look back and follow up with the divine. Your style is so authentic and so easy to follow. While I have been reading eastern spiritual text for 15 years it is finally now I have started to make some progress. Very recently I started to read I AM THAT (100 pages in to it) and I all of sudden don't have anxiety/fear of the unknown (very out of character for me). Not only your talks bring out the optimism in me they also help solidify my resolve to attain my spiritual goal. Thank you! Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Shri Ram, Jai shri Ramana.

how did it go?

Sir, I really appreciate you're work and at the same time you really have been fortunate to be with those great souls and it is possible that you silently sip the nectar of it and inspire us to be in line of that. I salute you sir.

I AM AMAZED BY THE WAY HE EXPLAINS & DESCRIBES THINGS. HE IS MORE SPIRITUALLY INTELLIGENT & CLEAR THAN ANY TEACHER ON THIS SUBJECT I'VE EVER HEARD. RAMANA MAHARSHI TAUGHT NONDUALITY THROUGH SELF-ENQUIRY IN TWO WAYS. ONE WAS SELF ENQUIRY "WHO AM I?" THE OTHER WAS SELF SURRENDER (I WILL LISTEN TO HIS VERSION LATER I'M SURE IT'S GOOD) IN SELF ENQUIRY - IT SOUNDED SO COMPLICATED I LISTENED AGAIN & AGAIN & DIDN'T QUITE GET IT. THEN I TRIED IT. JUST THE WAY HE EXPLAINED. I THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING, THEN I ASKED, "WHO IS THINKING THESE THOUGHTS" & MY MIND CAME BACK TO ME - THE I RETURNED TO ITS SOURCE. WHEN IT RETURNED I REALIZED THERE WAS NO "ME" - MY THOUGHTS BELONGED TO A PERSONALITY THAT IS MANUFACTURED BY ME. ALL MY PERSONALITIES ARE ACTS, THEY ARE ASSUMED LIKE CHARACTERS IN A PLAY. JUST LIKE HE EXPLAINED. WE PROJECT THESE PERSONALITIES ONTO THE 'THEATER OF LIFE' - EACH PERSONALITY HAVING A SET OF THOUGHTS & FEELINGS - IT FEELS LIKE ITS REAL BUT IT ISN'T REAL IN AN ULTIMATE SENSE, IT'S A PLAY, A SORT OF 'PRETEND GAME.' WHO IS THE REAL ME? HE CALLS IT THE "SELF". IT'S THE SOURCE OF LIFE, THE GOD-SELF. THIS GOD SELF HAS NO 'PERSONALITY' OR FEELINGS SUCH AS WE HAVE ON EARTH. ONCE I DID THIS SELF ENQUIRY I SAW HOW INCREDIBLY EASY IT WAS.

I love to hear David speak, his voice is very soothing!

Excellent -outstanding talks..

Dear David, Your videos are a profound blessing and perhaps the pathway that led me to understand Ramana. I visited Arunachala and Maharishi's Ashram last year in December, 2018 and wanted to pay my regards in-person but... If life brings me to Arunachala again, I hope you would grant me the opportunity. love and gratitude, Aditya (from California, USA)

This is exactly how Alcoholics Anonymous works. First you turn your drinking over to God, then your defects of character, then your relationships, then your will and life. In the end you are left with a spiritual awakening. The 12th step reads, “Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs”

Yes! And this can keep going and going. Let go of absolutely everything. Then let go of the one letting go. Once you have given up all sensations, and even the self. What's left is the natural state and freedom. Probably not appropriate to share in a meeting though, lol.

thank you !!! needed it most!!!!

David, thank you very much for shedding light on Bagavan's teaching and experiences. These videos help cement the truth in me little by little. I wish I will be able to look into the eyes of such a being as Bagavan, someday. You are truly doing god's work. Also, watching the videos you talk in gives me a sense, that you would emanate more presence through them, if you took longer pauses between words.

So beautiful, David, all that you have shared🙏🙏

Thank so much for sharing your experience and knowledge of Ramana and his devotees!

Thank you David. This is so v useful.

this video is going to change me and i'm going to watch it again and again. loved how to surrender part.

Powerful stories - thanks David.

I just love the salami approach of handing over our worries bit by bit. Yes it's like we are in the train which is anyways going in a particular direction (our Prarabhda) n here we're sitting with some 5 parcels of luggage on our lap. We can slowly put down one piece of luggage starting with the lighter ones n then realise that the luggage is safe and is anyways going to reach it's destination along with the train. So then we get more confidence and are willing to put down more of our luggage until we put down our final piece. Thank you David for this salami approach which further led me to extrapolate Bhagawan's theory of the man on the train with luggage on his lap. Hope I'm on the right track.

@@vanglover6030 Thank you for your kind comments. At the end of the day it's all Bhagawan's grace which helps us understand his teachings better. It's very important for us to understand that all is Prarabdha. The Prarabdha theory helps us to Surrender to Bhagawan. The challenge is when we forget to do so when the real test of time is in front of us. That's when we start thinking Oh! I have to do this n I have to do that. David has explained this point very well in this video where he says once you surrender you surrender completely. Then you don't keep going out n bringing the garbage back into your house. Our problem is we do selective surrender. May Bhagawan's grace help us all in surrendering completely. 🙏

Thank you David for bringing this out for us who can't be there.

this is the best video. i will look at this video all my life. helps me stay focussed on my goals

David, Thank you so much for these talks. They are so very helpful. I wish you would do more of them.

Thanks so much for this video David-

Hello David, I too had a full enlightenment experience by sri Ramana's grace it was with me for a relatively short time but it taught me to be yourself love all respect all now I see Ramana in all, I love my guru Ramana I just don't know what to give him or surrender all I know I just love him. The best thing is to love and not ask anything from him.

I love listening, thank you David.

🙇🏻‍♀️ Prayers for you Sir🙏

Loved the stories and examples starting at 3 min. Give up and surrender the thought that I am the doer, by surrendering little things over and over.

Hi David good vipes are coming from your videos.

Beautiful David & Team . Great job. .

Beautiful and enlightening topics. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you so much.

You are so articulate my friend :) It is a pleasure to hear you speak:) Thank you so much for this video :)

Hi David.. I absolutely love you! Last year I tried to read Sadhu Om but was for the most part confounded.. started with him again, and the way is so much clearer now .. Im feeling incredibly hopefull for myself! real anxious to get and read no mind- i am the self.. lakshmanaswami is an interesting SELF. and iam particularly drawn to his insistant solitary ways.. loved the two tremendous batgap interviews, highly recommend to anyone, they send me to sleep at night.. all my Gratitude for Self and those that have helped to shine a light in the dark...

Hi David, please leave this video for good online as want to come back to it frequently. 🙏

I think or it seems that Bhagavan's grace continues through you, maybe a flippant statement but about 2 year ago I came across your works and was absorbed in them from then my devotion , connection to Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi has got stronger nearly on a daily basis. For that I cannot thank you enough. Om Shanti

great channel!!!

Thank you Mr. Godman!

@@zoharflax6363 I agree with Vicara Vitakka that your grandmother tried to teach you "not" to worry! Jesus on the cross: "My father, thy will, not mine, be done". Our little brain is so structured it has very limited power to comprehend ourselves and the universe, space and time. By surrendering to God(or SELF), you are allowing another unproportionately infinite power to flow through you and your world; you do not let that little ego get in the way of karma's big operation.

NO ITS EASY. REALIZE THAT YOUR WANDERING MIND OR THOUGHTS COME OUT OF A PERSONALITY YOU ARE CREATING, MANUFACTURING. JUST TELL YOUR "I" - COME BACK TO THE SOURCE. IT WILL RETURN, & THERE YOU WILL FIND ONCE AGAIN THE 'GOD-SELF', THE REAL YOU - THE OTHER THING YOU CREATED SEEMS REAL, BUT IT'S NOT THE ABSOLUTE YOU. THE REAL YOU DOES NOT HAVE THE THOUGHTS & FEELINGS OF THE EARTH PERSONALITIES YOU CREATE. IT'S NEUTRAL I THINK. (IF I ERR IN MY EXPLANATIONS REFER TO DAVID GODMAN AGAIN.)

32:40 I think japa is excellent for purifying mind and rendering it one-pointed. Some will find it easier to start here before going direct to vichara (simply Being). Interestingly many respected names associated with Sri Ramana employed japa or some form of mental repetition: Lakshmana Swamy, Sri Sarada, Papaji, Annamalai Swami, Ganapati Muni….

Wow, tremendous backdrop

Surrender doesn't mean things will turn out successful in the future. It's quite natural that events in life will alternate between good and bad. As you surrender more and more, you will find out that things will bother you less and less whatever the outcome is. In other words, you become more and more peaceful inside.

WOW. REMARKABLE.

May the Blessing of our Great Seer' Bhagavan Sri Ramana accompany you always. _Paul

Surrender is great help when enquiry seems difficult
