Q: I want to eliminate the non-self
so that the Self may be realized.
How shall I do it?
What are the characteristics of the non-self?
Ramana Maharishi:
There is one who says
that the non-self must be eliminated.
Who is he?
The body is just background action;
maybe a little itching, a pang of hunger,
or a “wow, she is hot” moment,
but otherwise, a platform for being.
Our self identification needn’t act;
A pain body lingers, a memory stirs,
a fantasy imagines things to come.
Looking through, we spot clinging.
S erenity E nergy L ove F low prevail,
inviting us to ride the higher energies.
When body, mind and self identity rule,
we can always ask, who does the talking?
