    What is the Nature of Jnana — Realisation

    On the 21st July, 1917, Kavyakantha queried the Maharshi again.

    Maharshi: All these mental states, processes or ideas are certainly only the operations of the mind. But that which is termed Jnana is not a mental state or process. It is , i.e., Being, remaining or existence in the Self as such.

    Kavyakantha: Then, Sir, is not the Self – Atman or Brahman (God) – reached by the mind? In fact, while the Mundaka Upanishad, III, i. says [sanskrit, to be transliterated shortly] (This subtle Self has to be known by the mind), [transliteration needed] (It is to be seen by the sharp eye of the seers of the subtle), and the Katha Upanishad IV.ii. says of Brahmana: [transliteration coming] (By the mind alone is this to be attained), w

    Preface

    The author of this book has done in-depth research from various angles upon the life and teachings of Bhagavan Ramana, and in this book he establishes with many proofs that Bhagavan Ramana was a born jñāni and that the true import of the words ‘Sri Arunachala’ and ‘Sri Ramana’ is the supreme reality (sat-vastu). Just as the AdhyātmaRāmayana reveals the divine nature of Lord Rāma, this book reveals the divine nature of Lord Ramana, but concisely.
