HERE: If one really wants to live a life of continual bliss, peace, stability, and harmony, then one must completely dissolve their ego, go straight to what Ramana Maharshi pointed to, it’s not about improving yourself or becoming some new greater version of yourself, it’s about seeing that there is actually no “self” there in the first place. Every time any kind of thought arises (desire, fear, overthinking, even “I need to be better”), you only have two options: (1) follow the thought and identify with the thought, which automatically creates a story and strengthens the ego (“me, my life, my problems”), or (2) turn inward and question it, ask “to whom has this thought arisen?” The answer will always be “to me.” Then go deeper: “who am I?” Don’t answer with words like your name, body, or personality, just hold attention on that raw sense of “I.” If you’re able to stay there long enough, something powerful happens: the thought slowly fades, and the “I” you were clinging to all this time as being who you are starts to feel empty, like it can’t actually be found. That’s the key, the ego isn’t something you destroy or even call evil, it’s something that was never real, only assumed through repeated identification with thoughts. If one keeps repeating this process moment to moment during their everyday life, the mind loses its grip on the egos pull because you stop feeding it by not identifying with thoughts. This is why Ramana’s path is the most direct, no rituals, no religion, no god, no belief, just simply inner investigation within oneself. Other paths reach the same place differently: Gautama Buddha taught to observe everything without attachment until the illusion drops, Neem Karoli Baba emphasized dissolving the ego through love and surrender, and Paramahansa Yogananda taught meditation to transcend the mind, but all of them ultimately point to the exact same realization: the ego is just repeated identification with thought. Ramana cuts through all of it by showing you in real time if you look for the “I” directly, it disappears, and what remains is pure consciousness being fully aware of itself, which was always you, waiting to uncover one’s true portential
