Ramana Maharshi Just Be

[Alacoque Whitchurch]

Apropsthe request for citations from Bhagavan's writings, in 'Who am I?' Bhagavan wrote:

'What really exists is atma-swarupa alone. The world, soul and God are superimpositions in it like the silver in the mother-of-pearl. These three appear simultaneously and disappear simultaneously'

The notion that there is no difference between the waking and dream states also appears in 'Who am I?'

'Except that waking is long and dream is short, there is no difference between the two. To the extent to which all the events which happen in waking appear to be real, to that same extent even the events which happen in dream appear at that time to be real. In both waking and dream thoughts and names-and-forms come into existence simultaneously.'

I mentioned this second teaching from 'Who am I?' in a blog post I wrote in 2008:
