Sri Ramana Maharshi
If truly there is neither bondage nor Liberation what is the reason for the actual experience of joys and sorrows?
They appear to be real only when one turns aside from one’s real nature. They do not really exist.
Is it possible for everyone to know directly without doubt what exactly is one’s true nature?
Undoubtedly it is possible.
How?
It is the experience of everyone that even in the states of deep sleep, fainting, etc., when the entire universe, moving and stationary, beginning with earth and ending with the unmanifested (Prakriti), disappear, he does not disappear. Therefore the state of pure being which is common to all and which is always experienced directly by everybody is one’s true nature. The conclusion is that all experiences in the enlightened as well as the ignorant state, which may be described by newer and newer words, are opposed to one’s real nature.
Aum Tat Sat.
