The Ever-Direct Experience

Verse 885 of the Guru Vachaka Kovai [considered the most authoritative compilation of Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi's teachings] is very emphatic in its message on the method of realising the Self. It reads:

"Except by [the effort made through] the path of enquiring into the mysterious sense[the ego], by whatever effort is made through other paths such as karma, it is impossible to attain and enjoy the Self, the treasure shining in the Heart"
