"Swamiji, Who Are You?"
Who are you? is a theme expounded by Ramana, I have nothing new to add to it or subtract from it. He not only talked about it, but lived it. To know who am I is the search for the "subject". Objective search is the function of all material scientists. Scientists, sceptics and atheists are searching the truth in the outer world. It is good. There is nothing wrong in it....... It will take them finally to the subjective path of enquiry.
Just as a modern artist, when he paints ugliness, we may feel repelled by its ugliness, but the artist is always honest. He is expressing his own inner experience honestly and truthfully. Those who have the same mental condition will feel excited and sympathetic with such scratchings of confusions.
In the same way the scientists in their natural mental extroversions search the truth outside. They cannot appreciate or understand the validity of contemplative sages, and their vast infinite experience. From time immemorial, not only in the Indian tradition of the Vedas, even the Greeks had searched for the Self. Plato's declaration "Know Thyself' is not, I feel, a product of the study of the Vedas. Buddha springing from the Hindu tradition, naturally indicated the state of "Nirvana" the same as the Hindu concept of the "One Self Everywhere".
The Hindu Scriptures appear to be most exhaustive in dealing with this subject matter. This cannot be considered a special glory of the Hindu. They happened to turn their genius to this theme of investigation for a long -period of continued search. The West has progressed in technology, not necessarily because of a special grace of the Lord, but their natural genius happened to turn, in revolt against the medieval dark-ages, towards the more rational and scientific, directly observable facts of life.
The
outer
world
by
itself
has
no
value
and
they
are
almost
nonexistent
to
one
who
has
no
experience
there.
The
Niagara
Fall
is
to
many
of
us
only
a
description
and
some
vague
ideas
gathered
from
its
pictures;
but
to
those
who
have
gone
there
and
stood
in
front
of
it
and
had
intellectually
and
emotionally
reacted
to
its
majesty,
getting
lost
in
utter
wonderment
and
amazement,
to
them
the
Fall
Is
a
real,
unforgettable
experience,
awesome
in
its
might
and
beauty.
Based
upon
this
fact,
the
Rishis
of
the
Vedic
Period
declared
the
fact
that
the
objective
world
has
a
validity
because
of
"ME"
the
subject.
They
turned
their
attention
in
search
of
the
Self
-
"who
am
I"
and
the
West
turned
their
attention
to
know
what
is
the
world
-
how
do
the
phenomenal
happenings
take
place
etc.
The
science
that
explains
and
expounds
the
subjective
world
became
Spirituality
-
the
subjective
science.
in
distinct
contrast
to
the
objective
sciences
of
modern
times.
