As long as there are impressions of objects in the mind, so long the enquiry "Who Am I?" is required.
Remain in awareness / presence/ the Now at all times
Tip
Every thought that leads you away from self-awareness is a trick created by the imposter (false self). - Langford
Self-enquiry
"Know and always hold onto the Now.
Disregard the body and the mind.
To identify with them is misery.
Dive deep into the Heart,
the source of being and peace,
and establish yourself there."
Do not limit Bhagavan (Parabrahman) to the body, but find Him in your heart, because He is already there waiting for you.
Sri Ramana
Bhagavan stated that self-enquiry should be performed with the same intensity as that of a drowning man struggling for air, only then can it succeed.
Arunachala
Dedication
I seek refuge at the sacred feet of my Father, the blessed Ramana,
who performs the entire work of creation,
preservation and destruction, while remaining wholly unattached,
and who makes us aware of what is real and thus protects us,
that I may set down His words fittingly.
Arunachala Ramana
In the recesses of the lotus-shaped Hearts of all, beginning with Vishnu,
there shines as pure intellect (Absolute Consciousness) the Paramatman,
who is the same as my Father, Arunachala Ramana.
When the mind melts with love of Him,
and reaches the inmost recess of the Heart wherein He dwells as the beloved,
the subtle eye of pure intellect opens and He reveals Himself as Pure Consciousness.
Lord's Feet is All
Verily are they, all mantra and all medicine;
All tantra and all giving;
All beauty and all pure way;
Mine Holy Father's Feet Twain.
Into my bosom, on my eyes, over my head
He gently planted His loving Feet
Ramana, my Lord Supreme;
He laid me the Path,
He showed me the Truth,
He settled the course of my Destiny
Truly, truly, all that I can not describe.
All tantra and all giving;
All beauty and all pure way;
Mine Holy Father's Feet Twain.
Into my bosom, on my eyes, over my head
He gently planted His loving Feet
Ramana, my Lord Supreme;
He laid me the Path,
He showed me the Truth,
He settled the course of my Destiny
Truly, truly, all that I can not describe.
When you seek a Guru
Seek you one, holy and pure;
And then give him your all--
Your body, life and wealth;
And in constancy learn clear,
Not a moment distracting,
You shall sure reach Siva's State.
Annamalai Swami
I shall hold fast unto Ramana
With love and yearning, I seek my Father,
Seeking Him, as Siva the Supreme, I will meet Him;
And then will I seize hold of His valorous Feet
And for ever hold to them,
Until He liberation grants.
