The Sage of Arunachala preferred to teach in silence. But when he did
use words, he used few and he used them with telling effect. What struck
you most about what he said was the authority of knowing that backed
each word uttered.



Though all of what Ramana said was rich with meaning, if one has to
grasp the very core of his teaching, one needs to sieve and filter,
doggedly staying focussed on the very fundamentals of what he taught.
Even those who have read many books on Ramana Maharshi's teachings will
find this book different: focussed on the ultimate happiness as one's
very nature.



More importantly, this book bring across points about Ramana Maharshi's
sayings which have not been given adequate attention and significance.
To give three instances:



The very thought of God is Divine Favour. It is by God's grace that a thought of God arises in the mind.



There is absolutely no need to hurry about anything: everything must
happen only at the precise time appointed by the Cosmic Law.



The ego of the sage is like the remnants of a burnt rope.



Pointers From Ramana Maharshi brings you the teachings of Advaita Master
Adi Shankara as expounded by Ramana Maharshi, distilled to their very
quintessential understanding, by an experienced writer like Ramesh
Balsekar.

Rameshji, a teacher of pure Advaita, or non-duality, is an unearthly blend of the utterly human and utterly divine manifesting as a brilliant spiritual Master. His crystal-clear and profound teachings are backed by his complete understanding that "Nobody does anything" coupled with his life experience as a top executive of a major Indian bank, as a husband, father and grandfather - all lived knowing that it is all happening as God's Will.

For much of his full life Ramesh, whose Guru was Nisargadatta Maharaj, has been devoted to Ramana Maharshi, in whose spirit Ramesh welcomes seekers and asks "Who is seeking? Leave the seeking to Him who started the seeking."
