‘As soon as I read Who Am I? , I knew that this was what I had been searching for.’ —Michael James Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi's Who Am I? is a profound investigation into the very nature of our being, leading us to discover the ultimate truth of our existence. Through the practice of self-investigation ( ātma-vicāra ), Bhagavan teaches us to turn our attention inwards to the pure awareness ‘I am’, which is the infinite source of eternal happiness. This book explains why self-investigation is the most direct path to liberation, offering both practical methods and deep insights to dissolve the false identification with ego – the mistaken idea that we are the body and mind – and uncover our unchanging reality as pure awareness. Whether you are new to Bhagavan’s teachings or a seasoned devotee, this book serves as a valuable guide on the journey of spiritual awakening. Michael James, a renowned scholar of Bhagavan’s teachings, has dedicated nearly fifty years to studying and elucidating these profound teachings. His clear and precise commentary unravels the intricacies of self-investigation and self-surrender, making this work accessible to all who seek liberation. Who Am I? is not just a philosophical essay – it is a comprehensive manual for inner transformation, offering practical wisdom to help us discover the lasting peace, love, and happiness that is our true nature.
