Be prepared ( about Guru )
So in your progress towards pure consciousness and God there are several things that will happen. This article was written with presupposition of multiple births.

What did Maharshi Ramana say?
Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi: The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen. We forget it and concentrate on the appearance. The light in the hall burns both when persons are present and when they are absent, both when persons …

Necessary for realization
“Divine Grace is essential for Realisation. It leads one to God-realisation. But such Grace is vouchsafed only to him who is a true devotee or a yogin, who has striven hard and ceaselessly on the path towards freedom.” Ramana Maharshi This is very true. Without grace of a Guru realization is not possible. However Guru …

We don’t understand each other
We cannot understand why a gyani can see the suffering and simply call it a dream. The gyani cannot understand why we suffer when it is a dream. That creates a problem for moksha. How can someone who sees this world as a dream help or be motivated to help? And if they help we …
