Ramana Maharshi

I really enjoyed this film regarding Ramana Maharshi, I can not explain why but it is probably one of my favorite lectures of the class. It described the life of a person who devoted himself to religion and expected nothing people. I think that might be why, he wanted to be treated just the same as everyone else, he was the same as everyone and everyone else was the same to him. Equality between all living things was one of his teachings, regardless of race, gender, religion, species, and social standing.

He seemed to teach by not lectures but simple quietness. His devotion to his absorption to self lead him and others to self realization. "Know who you are and all else will be known" was a quote that he would say. I believe it referred to knowing how to interpret the world or how to act in certain situations. Know who you are, know your actions, your thoughts, your vices and good and take this and put it into consideration was questions or hardship arrive in your world. Once you know who you are you, you will know what to do in every situation.
