Presents a collection of essays which cover a range of topics that are grounded in the fundamental truth of Advaita, or non-duality, in the light of Ramana Maharshi's teachings. These essays cover questions on the spiritual journey: meditation, self-effort and effortlessness, action and non-action, Self and ego, and the question of suffering.

New Enlarged Edition Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) was still in his teens when he attained enlightenment through a remarkable experience, as if undergoing death of the physical body, while remaining in full consciousness. He left home for the sacred hill of Arunachala where he taught the purest form of Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) through the simple discipline of self-inquiry. His teaching, his principal instruction to all his devotes was always to meditate on the question “Who am I?” In this book Arthur Osborne gives an account of the life and teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. It has a special relevance to our age with its outlines of a religion based on the Indian scriptures which is essentially spiritual, without ceasing to be rational and ethical.

Sri Arthur Osborne has in his deceptively simple but profound exposition highlighted the essential unity of all the three religions discussed in this work.He has clearly and directly gone to the heart of what makes a religion alive as an instrument oto discover the purpose of life and who we are.
