Line 15:
In a very simple manner he asks us to go back to the source from wherein all thought arises and ask ourself, "To whom is this thought? To whom has this anger arisen?" The answer would be obviously "To me"; after that, you then enquire as to "WHO AM I?". This is done by negating like: I-am-not-the-body, I-am-not-the-food -I-eat, I-am-not-the-brain ....in this way one traces the 'I-Thought' back to the source. The source is what one may call the [[God|GOD]] or the [[Self_(philosophy)|SELF]]. However, to my understanding what Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi says is, "Stay in Silence."
Many western authors, including the American philosopher [[Ken Wilber]], have been influenced by Ramana Maharshi's [[nondual]] thought. [[Paul Brunton]] was another Western author who deeply impressed by Ramana Maharshi.He wrote his experiences of staying at Arunachala in a book called "A Search in Secret India". This was one of the first books to bring Ramana Maharshi to the attention of the Western World. He wrote of Arunachala.
“ I never fail to become gradually aware of the mysterious atmosphere of the place… I enjoy an ineffable tranquillity merely by sitting for a while in the neighbourhood of the Maharishee.”
