Introduction
1. Ramana Maharshi
‘Enquiry’ is looking if something really exists
‘I’ is uninterruptedly the case
The ‘I’ doesn’t need to be replaced by some other ‘I’
Attention to Subject first
2. Atmananda (Krishna Menon)
‘I’ as such
The ‘I’-Principle is the only ultimate Reality
Think of your Guru only in the dualistic sphere
All activities are acts of worship to Me
You are always in your Real Nature
3. Nisargadatta Maharaj
‘I am’ is the greatest foe and the greatest friend
The touch of ‘I am’ is the first vibration
Worship this touch of ‘I am’
Knowingness and surrender
The dynamic aspect of Consciousness
The marriage of two qualities (sattva and rajas)
‘I’ is term for all levels
4. The Medicine (‘I am’ is a door)
The root of the mistake is the medicine
The pure, unmixed Beingness quality (Shuddha Sattva)
The knowing quality is what liberates
The ‘causal body’
Experience is the last Object
