"How can I perform my day to day activities if the mind is internalised?"
For this question Bhagavan says "There is no conflict between work and wisdom"

If the mind is externalised it is ego. If the mind is internalised it is the Self says Bhagavan. There should be awareness of this truth all the time.

If necessasity is the mother of life who is the father? Barest necessasity. Anything in moderation gives considerable relaxation.

There Is Nothing new To Get

There is nothing new to get.
You have on the other hand,
to get rid of your ignorance,
which makes you think you are other than Bliss.
For whom is this ignorance?
It is to the ego.
Trace the source of the ego.
Then the ego is lost and Bliss remains over.
It is eternal You are That, here and now...
This is the master key for solving all doubts.
The doubts arise in the mind.
The mind is born of the ego.
The ego rises from the Self.
Search the source of the ego
and the Self is revealed.
That alone remains.
The universe is only expanded Self.
It is not different from the Self...

- Ramana Maharshi

Greetings Katalin and All friends,

I have been involved in Ramana Maharshi's teachings for the past 40 years, having been given the name of Ramana Baba in India in 1972 by Swami Sureshananda, a disciple of Bhagavan.

Every winter you will find me in Tiruvannamalai, where I offer Mantra and Satsang on a rooftop beside Nanna Garu Ashram. I hope to connect up with Advaita interested students if you are there between December and March. I also lead groups on a three week travelling workshop in Tamil Nadu every January. If anyone is interested, please check out my website at: www.mantra-yoga.com
Meanwhile, I live in the south of France where any Bhagavan devotee is welcome to come and visit.

Warmly,
Muz Murray (Ramana Baba in India)

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither a way nor awakening. That is the final truth.
Sri Ramana Maharshi

Thankyou Roblin for posting the photo of Arunachala and the teachings. I can now visualize the mountain and area.

Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharishi

* A guru need not be in the human form only. Guru makes you realize that God is within you.
* Complete surrender, either to self or to God, leads to jnana or liberation.
* Free will and destiny exist forever.
* In order to be truly happy, one must known oneself.
* Mind is the source of ego. Only when the heart takes over the mind can one attain the Self, the real, the eternal.
* Renunciation is not a precondition for achieving liberation.
* Self-realization is nothing but being oneself.
* The only reality in the world is consciousness.

Arunachala : The Spiritual Center of the world

Each of the spiritual centers of India has its own character and its own line of tradition; and among them all it is Tiruvannamalai (Arunachala) that represents the most direct, the most formless and the least ritualistic of paths, the path of Self-enquiry, whose gateway is silent initiation. This is expressed in the old Tamil saying: “To see Chidambaram, to be born at Tiruvarur, to die at Banaras or even to think of Arunachala is to be assured of Liberation.” “Even to think of” because in the case of the direct path physical contact is not necessary. Hence, it was no accident that the Maharshi made Tiruvannamalai and its sacred Arunachala Mountain his home.
When the Maharshi attained Self-realization through a swift, spontaneous act of Self-enquiry while yet a lad of sixteen, he left home and set out as a sadhu for Arunachala. He remained there for the duration of his life. At the time of his passing, more than fifty years after his arrival, a bright star was seen moving slowly across the sky and sinking behind the peak of the holy mountain. This was a clear indication not only of his devotion to Arunachala but also his Oneness with it. Through his compositions, his sayings and his life the importance of Arunachala as a spiritual center has once again risen to eminence. The Maharshi called Arunachala the spiritual Heart of the world. Aruna, which means ‘red, bright like fire’, does not signify the mere fire that gives off heat. Rather, it is Jnanagni, the Fire of Wisdom, which is neither hot nor cold. Achala signifies hill. Thus, Arunachala means the ‘Hill of Wisdom’
