{"product_id":"compassisbn-9780140190626","title":"Compass","description":"Ramana Maharshi was one of the most significant spiritual teachers to emerge from India during the first half of the century, and remains widely admired. This recent collection of conversations between him and the many seekers who came to his ashram for guidance contains the essence of his teaching. His concern throughout his long life of imparting his experience to others was to convince his listeners that self-realisation - or enlightenment - is not an alien or mysterious state, but the natural condition of man. This state can be easily discovered by undertaking the self-investigation clearly described in these talks. The lucid instructions to each section provide further illumination of this greater seer's message.The Teachings of Sriramana MaharshiAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: The Self\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
