Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At present we are conscious of ourselves as a set of adjuncts like body, mind, intellect with object knowing consciousness, in which our attention seemingly moves away from the self towards the object with seeming separation from the knowing subject and known object. All objects come into existence only when our attention is directed towards them. The act of directing our attention towards something which appears as other than ourselves is what we call thinking. In self-enquiry we withdraw our attention from thoughts and objects consciousness moves Self-wards because self is the base for appearance and disappearance of "I" thought i.e. mind. This natural positing of our attention in the self conscious being is self-enquiry. Self-Enquiry is holding on to awareness of being that "we already are". When the mind strays you bring it back- that's all. Self-Enquiry is not through thought but paying attention to the source of it. There is no ego apart from the idea of "I" thought. The "I" thought arises from the self and depends upon the self for its existence. It is never apart from the self and in fact the self but forgetful of its true nature. It believes in the lie of its independent existence apart from the self. As enquiry proceeds the lie becomes tenuous until it loses its power to hold us. Each time when you observe this "I" thought you break your identification with the "I", you disconnect from this "I" as being part of you. As you peel from this false "I", you will find yourself spontaneously abiding in a tranquil centre, just abide in that "I am". At this point there is no feeling of "I" thought as an object presently sensed. Just be there. After sometime mind will take over, that is natural, do not be frustrated. With practice we will find much easier to abide in this state of "I am" and for longer periods. There is no place for effort, expectation, hurry in this. The idea that one is an individual person is generated and sustained by "I" thought and its habit of constantly attaching itself to all thoughts and perceptions that go on in the mind and the body. Self-Enquiry is to reverse this process by depriving the "I" thought of all the thoughts and perceptions that it normally identifies with. If one can break the connection between "I" thought and the thoughts it identifies with, then the "I" thought itself will subside and finally disappear. This can be done by holding on to "I" thought, excluding all other thoughts. If one can keep the attention on the inner feeling of "I", the power of self pulls the "I" thought back into it and eventually destroys it so completely that it never rises again. This is the moment of self realization. When this happens, the concept of individual self is destroyed, only self remains. All this happens when we perform self-enquiry with the same intensity as that of a drowning man struggles for air.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Self-knowledge is the foundation of life. Without it life will be in turmoil. If there is no self-knowledge we are bound to act from a psychological center woven by thought and so limited and results in limited action if we act from that center and so it leaves an impression called which knocks our door for resolution. This limited action results in experience of non-understanding. Such collection of experiences which cause problems is called ego and at present we are functioning from which adds further experiences. Experiences and so ego is dead past. We are facing living present moment wearing glasses of dead past. So we are just perpetuating the past by incomplete action that has roots in past, tradition. This calamity happens because we are using thought to solve both physical and psychological problems. Psychological problems are created by thought and how can you hope resolution of psychological problems by thought? S o thought has no place in problems of psychological arena .Man has not solved psychological problems for the past 40,000 years of existence on earth. Though man is able to technological advance in a surprising for which his efficient thought is the cause but lack of resolving psychological problems is due to use of thought in resolving psychological problems thus complicating existing psychological problem because thought has no role in resolution of psychological problem and thought is the causative factor for producing psychological problem. So if thought subsides when we face a psychological problem we develop insight which sees the whole net work of psychological and keeps away from it if it found as a dangerous precipice. So psychological learning is through "insight" only where as physical learning of through "doing" which involves time. So physical learning involves thought and time. Psychological learning does not require time because here "Perception" is action. So seeing old pundit Adi Sankara out of compassion gave message to him the importance of self knowledge in life.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jesus, the son of man became son of god while still in the body. Like Rama Krishna He is not a learned man. So his sayings are quite easy to understand and straight forward Unlike those of Adi Sankara, Buddha, Mahavira who are intellectuals apart from realization. Their language is rather poetic and so indirect. In Jesus teaching we see humanness and divineness. He wants to take us from our ordinary existence to divineness in us which is inner most core of every human being. The approach of Jesus is love and compassion and his teachings reflect them. Obviously people misunderstood him and his teaching who preached non-violence through repentance and people indulged in wars even in the name Christianity which preaches love. So an attempt has been made in this book about what exactly he wanted to convey. If one reads Bible and understands it properly he will be transformed and starts a new way of living afresh. Our present existence depends on "me" and "mine" first, and we feel that we are separate from rest of existence. This feeling of separation is bringing chaos in the world and sorrow and misery is the result of living as separate entities. Life is relationship and the core of thinking depends on relationship. At present thought process is in the service of "me" woven by thought which is intrinsically limited and any action arising from it is bound to be incomplete and so results in conflict, misery, sorrow. But if relationship is based on love, complete action takes place which holistic without thought interference and shadow of past. So let us read Bible and start a new way of life which brings peace.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Upadesa is a Sanskrit word which literally means facilitating an entity to come back to its source, its home.Saram means the essence of such instruction towards that direction.The essential nature of the mind is consciousness.But being covered by cloud of tendencies, past experiences, thoughts, mind forgets that its nature is consciousness.This is called Self-forgetfulness.A mind that is in a state of Self-forgetfulness(Atma vismruti) leaves its source which is Self and identifies with non-Self adjuncts like the ego(Ahamkara,"I" thought), thinking process(manas)intellect(Buddhi), memory (chitta)the physical body and seeks happiness outside and in the process collects lot of misery because of conflict that is inherent in the dualistic phenomenal reality.After a break even point unable to bear this misery it starts inquiring into what is the cause of all this misery and starts investigating "who am i","what is my nature","whence am i" etc.When mind uninterruptedly does this quest it existentially negates the five coverings(Pancha kosas) covering the consciousness i.e sheaths of body, vital airs(Prana)mind(manas, the thinking faculty), intellect(Buddhi, the discriminatary faculty, sheath of Self-ignorance(Anandamaya kosa)it remembers that its nature is pure conscious being.So in this way the process of bringing back the outgoing mind to its source is described in 30 Sanskrit slokas by Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi which is named as Upadesa Saram by him.If his message in this properly understood it annihilates Self-ignorance and confers Self-Knowledge.Such Self-knowledge conferring books are called Darshana Grandhas in Sanskrit.Upadesa Saram is such a book.In this work the author Dr.P.V.S.Suryanarayana Raju commented on these 30 slokas of Bhagawan's Upades Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Conflict is inner war. Conflict is a product of living in time dimension. We can find a solution if we live with it but not through escaping from it. In observation of conflict in timeless dimension about the nature of conflict which is a product of time, there is the solution to conflict. Ending of conflict is the ending of sorrow. In the ending of conflict there is the ending of "me" and so there is the ending of sorrow. So first of all we must see the necessity of ending of conflict both inwardly and outwardly. If we identify the disease then we can find a cure to it. So far Arjuna enjoyed the pleasure of being somebody in the fighting, he enjoyed the pleasure of being famous, he conformed to social norms in which there is pleasure, now at this juncture of great war pleasure out of all these may be thwarted and so for the first time in life he is aware of inner conflict and he wants to solve that conflict by not participating in the war. Non-action is not inaction. We have to understand the nature of conflict, not avoiding conflict by indulging in drugs, sex, alcohol, clubs, social and religious activities etc. Understanding conflict is possible only through self-inquiry in awareness. All others are tricks to avoid it. If there is conflict it distorts mind and decisions consciously or unconsciously. Conflict is awareness of blockage of pleasure, pain, frustration, pursuit of pleasure, pursuit for recognition etc. Until and unless we understand what it means to relate with the other we do not differentiate between "action" and "activity".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Become more and more aware of the precariousness of life.Learn how to live by being responsible.As awareness increases mind is filled with awareness and you act from awareness. When you act from awareness, the action is complete without any hangover. Then you will know what it is to be free even while acting.Action with motive is binding because it is directed, it is incomplete because you act from the ego and incomplete action leaves a residue of experience which knocks your door for resolution.God is an invention of man for his comfort, just as religion is also an invention of man. All religions keep you in ignorance because religion is created by thought. You must negate all thought created things like god, religion if you are serious to find the truth.This negation comes out of diligent understanding but negation is not intellectual.Then your mind is empty of beliefs, dogma, nationality, caste, creed, race religion etc and has the capacity to comprehend that which is ultimate truth that can never be touched by thought.Through negation of false you touch what is true, so in search for truth diligent negation is the most positive act. Belief, dogma, conformity, imitation are the most negative acts possible. Get rid of them first.You are already the truth, so you have to negate the ego smoke that is formed over the mirror of consciousness from many centuries during evolution. In psychological inquiry never depend on anybody as authority be it a savior, book, scripture, guru. Death is knocking at your door; it can happen at any time. Life is momentary, a soap bubble, just a pin prick and it is gone forever. How can you remain unaware? Bring awareness to each act. If you take life for granted and think you are going to live forever you remain unaware and vegetate.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The religion and science are polar opposites and so they are complementary. Awareness helps you to move from one pole to another. In science one can keep his ego, it is a concentration, one pointed effort. It is a work. Religion is basically relaxation, let-go, no-pointed-ness. It is relaxing in ones own awareness. Work done well brings rest, rest prepares us for work. So work and rest are complimentary. Man must be able to move easily to outside and inside. It is a skill. It is just like moving outside of house and work and then back again to the house. It should not create any problem. We are fortunate to be alive today because something immense is happening today because science and religion are at their peak. Always remaining outside and clinging to it creates problems, similarly always remaining inside is not a balanced life. There is no need to belong to any particular religion which is just an organized belief and dogma if one want to be religious. Religiosity is a quality, a way of life and for this we need not belong to any religion which limits our consciousness with its conditioning, dividing us with fellow human beings.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Instinctual response of any human being is security. So he tries to hind security in identity with family, property, group, caste, nation, belief systems and religion. But the very identity with all these lead duality, contradiction, conflict, war. One needs physical security but is there any need to psychological security? The very pursuit of psychological security leads to insecurity. Are humans individual psychologically or is it the creation of thought through condition to create concept of individualism which leads to so much disorder. Existence has no doer-ship but action goes on and on. So individualism is against existential movement and so there is so many problems when action arises from a individual psychological center instead of responding from consciousness without a center. So what actually formed to have security and certainty is bringing us insecurity and uncertainty because it is bringing conflict along with it. From physical security we turn to psychological security. Action born out of psychological center is ibviously incomplete because the center itself is limited and so such action is bound to lead to conflict. It has a motive behind it. Spontaneous action has no motive and so there is no eye on fruit of action and so "doer" who is the fundamental factor of separation between human beings is not born and such action is complete. Spontaneous action is pro-existential and such action never leads to conflict and contradiction. Action born out of psychological center is anti-existential and so is bound to produce conflict.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. self knowing is not a method. It is constant watchfulness of ego activity. In the intensity of watchfulness we come to know the falsity of contents of mind and so in the intensity of watchfulness the contents evaporate. Then the mind is empty. This watchfulness is not against the mind but with watchfulness ego activity comes to a stand still and so we go beyond the ego and we penetrate the unknowable. We cannot penetrate the unknowable with the known. All methods belong to known and you cannot jump into unknown by clinging to known. A mind that is empty of known has the capacity to jump into the unknowable. Mind with contents is conditioned and so always in conflict. Unless we see the falsity of conditioning mind is in conflict and split. Split mind is a fragmentary mind and is never free of ego activity like greed, anger, sex etc. Such fragmentary mind can never comprehend the truth. Mind without any contents can comprehend the truth. When there is freedom from background of conditioning there is intensification of life. Life is a process of challenge and response and we respond adequately to challenge only when we are free of conditioning. Till then action is incomplete and there is perennial conflict.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Just as science investigates into the matter self-inquiry investigates the human subjectivity. So it is a science. It is nothing to do with organized belief which is religion or dogma or superstation or emotion. It is direct perception of the movement of a mind to a challenge. When we are aware of the movement of the fact, the fact flowers in passive awareness of perception and reveal itself and withers. This is real religiosity. We investigate matter through thought and thought itself is a conditioned matter and we store that information as knowledge in memory cells. Next time we act from that knowledge through thought. Many new things are found even in objective reality during a thought-free perception. Knowledge is never complete because something more can be added always to the existing knowledge and so there can be no complete knowledge about anything and so thought arising from limited knowledge can never be complete. As far as material things are concerned this system works but thought has invaded the psyche and is trying to solve the problems according psychological memory. It created religions, god, beliefs, superstitions; dogmas which cannot solve the present mental problem. To deal with a fact insightful perception is the right instrument. Thought has no place whatsoever to play in psyche. The contents of consciousness are formed because of thought. They must be emptied of mind urgently through silent perception. Silent mind is a living mind. Mind that is filled with thought matter is a dead mind. So in self-inquiry we understand the role of dead past and so it is never allowed to interfere in the investigation of "active present" and so past is kept where it should be and make mind alive, still and sensitive again.
