Thank you very much for Michel and Ted for the excellent teaching and insight of Bhahavan.I like to add some comments for the young lady ,who was confused with self inquiry and love for young man. 1 She need to recognize that she is already and always a pure being whether whether she is self inquiring or not.She is searching for something ,that means she is looking for something other than her pure being-when one search for something ,searching itself hide your pure nature.Therefor she need to stop searching for something which not present here and now. 2 when she looking for a young man ,she thinks young man may give "happiness"again she got to recognize ,the happiness that she is looking for is her own pure self,No object or relation ship will never give happiness. Pure love is collapse of relationship,as being one.As Michael said Relationship is important but not for happiness. I hope this helps I like Micheal's comments on this. Thank you
I like to add one more comment regarding desire,her desire is too small,one should have a ultimate limitless desire, that is absolute,knowing and being your self !
Thank you very much. Michael and Mr Ted For making this video available on CZcams even though I want to join this meeting, I don’t have that much skill to use these gadgets. I don’t know how to join your meeting. I don’t use any tablet computer , But through you, I want to ask if you ego is one and Bhagvan Ramana’s ego enlightened & attained the Jeevan Mukta state , All other egos or personal also should get that state of consciousness. Why is not happening that way according to Bhagvan’s Darshan/ philosophy ?

42:44 Michael James: ‘Contemplating the teachings is the śravaṇa and manana. Contemplating what the teachings are pointing at, which is namely our own being, that is the nididhyāsana.’ ‘So, the śravaṇa and manana, they are useful to the extent to which they support us in the nididhyāsana. But, the nididhyāsana is what is crucial.’
That's the standard approach, however Bhagavan suggested indirectly that the intellectual types, people who like to read, discuss, and think "deeply" should actually drop any sravana and only focus on nididhyasana while the non-intellectual types who rather use their hands in manual labor and don't like to study should do more sravana. Of course "scholarly" types will always be biased in favor of sravana and manana when in all reality those are the first who need to drop that since also study can/is an impediment for freedom. Bhagavan emphasized that steady sravana and manana is not advised but to practice atma-vichara instead. He never suggested that sravana and manana should be done regularly every day, quite the opposite.
I find very useful asking my self a question (when ever questions about this or that spiritual manner pops up in my mind) To whom this question arise? Until ego is discovered as non-existent confusion will always be present. As this statement is confusing to me now, to who should ego be found as non existent 😅 Paradox will be present as trying to describe absolute with relative can not be done. Silent is only TRUE TEACHING.
Paramhansa Yogananda is still my Guru,my parmatma,pareshu.Even after following Ramana maharishi,coz one shd respect a Guru,coz Guru is a Guru is a Guru❤
Yogananda wrote that his guru Sri Yukteswar appeared to him after his death and said that he is now staying on a higher astral plane. That suggests that Sri Yukteswar is not self-realized since after self-realization one does not appear on an astral plane nor any location. That further suggests that also Yogananada was not self-realized (since his guru is a jiva and) because his teachings are entirely dual practices like so-called "energization" exercises or Kriya Yoga, a form of Kundalini Yoga where one imagines a flow of energy via breath up the spine. These practices are unrefined and cannot lead to freedom. They are intermediate practices for a certain crowd of people who are not ready yet for the subtle depth of a true sat-guru like Bhagavan. If one has truly grasped Bhagavan's teachings then one cannot even remotely acknowledge what Yogananda was teaching since his teachings contradict Sri Ramana, they are mediocre in comparison.
@@johnmcdonald260 so my point was mother being ur first Guru who taught u simple words to speak remains ur Guru as she was the one who taught u to speak,at that stage she surely was ur Guru doesn't mean u will not respect the fact that she is ur first Guru,like wise with Parmahansa Yogananda.
@@shilpamurdeshwar5788 Anybody can believe what they want and any of my comments here and elsewhere are not geared to convince others (changing beliefs from one set of concepts to another set of concepts) but to point to Bhagavan's teachings: I.e. in regard to "gurus", there are truly not a number of gurus but only One! And that is Bhagavan.
@@johnmcdonald260 sure my belief cannot be changed coz what i speak is from experience,well Dattatreya had 24 gurus ,u can believe what u want to,but speak from experience n not by reading books
@@shilpamurdeshwar5788 You are speaking from the "experience" of ego and nothing else. And that "experience" is irrelevant, actually delusional. Anyway, it is apparent you are way out of your league here but too arrogant to be able to admit that. Carry on.

Very deep, very radical . I am thankful to Bhagavan

Very good question ! Someone should ask this question to James @sriramanateachingsqa
Because ego is seeking its true nature, to ego of course is to be found as non existent.😊

A talking beard.
"Who is talking?"
A teacher and elders should always be respected.
