I had written in the last post asking, "What then is the means to awake from this dream and become detached entirely from it?" Agathiyar came today to reveal the means. It is only through "Atma Vichara" or "Knowing the Soul" that we can escape from Maya and the Unreal. He added that all his creations were pure in essence and pure to the soul. Man, through his mind, thoughts, and actions, has tainted, manipulated, and diluted its purity.
Atma Vichara or Self-enquiry was what was taught by Bhagawan Ramana, too. We learn that it means having "the constant attention to the inner awareness of 'I' or 'I am" to arrive at the 'I' thought.
Ramana Mahirishi taught that the "I"-thought will disappear and only "I-I" or self-awareness remains. This results in an "effortless awareness of being", and by staying with it this "I-I" gradually destroys the vasanas "which cause the 'I'-thought to rise," and finally the 'I'-thought never rises again, which is Self-realization or liberation.

Agathiyar added further that there was no right and wrong and that it differed in our respective perspectives, sight, and vision. The Puranas were not learned and understood in its entirety he added. He added that there was no such thing as harm done by others, but only that which we had brought onto ourselves. To a devotee who was present he asked her to read this blog starting with the very first posts.
