The Question of Obliteration
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I'.
Ramana Maharshi
The question 'Who am I?' is not really meant to get an answer,
Ramana Maharshi
the question 'Who am I?' is meant to dissolve the questioner.
Ramana Maharshi
If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough,
Ramana Maharshi
the false ‘I’ will vanish
Ramana Maharshi
leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’,
Ramana Maharshi
consciousness itself
Ramana Maharshi
You are awareness.
Ramana Maharshi
Awareness is another name for you.
Ramana Maharshi
Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it.
Ramana Maharshi
There is nothing like ‘within’ or ‘without.’
Ramana Maharshi
Both mean either the same thing or nothing.
Ramana Maharshi
There is neither creation nor destruction,
Ramana Maharshi
neither destiny nor free will,
Ramana Maharshi
neither path nor achievement.
Ramana Maharshi
This is the final truth.
