Only if one knows the truth of love, which is
the real nature of Self
2
will the strong entangled knot of life be untied.
3
Only if one attains the height of love
4
will liberation be attained.

The experience of Self is only love
6
which is seeing only love, hearing only love,
feeling only love
7
tasting only love and smelling only love
8
which is bliss.

Love is not different from the Self.
10
Love of an object is of an inferior order and
cannot endure.
11
Whereas the Self is Love, in other words
12
God is Love. - Ramana Maharshi -

Use the Inquiry on anything that is pulling your
attention outward. Whos thinking? Whos
listening? Whos experiencing this experience?
I am Who am I? Feel and follow the I
now, fully investigating into this I-feeling,
this I-sense. Require it to reveal its true
nature, locating the Source out of which the I
arises. This naturally occurs as we just feel
I. No efforting, no doing is required.
Feeling the sense of I. I exist and I am
conscious of my existence here and now, as I.
16
Now just by feeling this I, we are drawn
naturally into the Source, into the Self, into
the Heart Deep stillness, deep silence is
present here and now. This is our natural
state. It is always present. The only thing
that prevents us from being in this state
constantly is the thought that were not that.
And if we inquire into this thought, and into
the thinker that is thinking this thought,
there is only the Heart, the Stillness, pure
Silence

Elizabeth MacDonald

• Elizabeth met A. Ramana, her spiritual
  teacher in 1978. During her first meeting with
  Ramana, Elizabeth had an initial quickening of
  the spiritual Heart which she eventually
  recognized to be the true Self. He introduced
  her to the teaching of his guru, Bhagavan Sri
  Ramana Maharshi, and taught her Self-Inquiry, the
  process for reestablishing the mind back into its
  direct connection with the Heart on her own. She
  learned to effectively practice Self-Inquiry
  while living and working an active lifestyle.

• Today, Elizabeth lives from the Awakened Heart
  and shares this experientially. She says, once
  the Heart is awakened, it is simply living from
  this perspective and then, its all about love.

With her teacher, A. Ramana, Elizabeth became
co-founder of AHAM the Association of
Happiness for All Mankind. After years of
serving AHAM as Executive Director and
