Are There Any Signs That Indicate The Aspirant is Progressing Toward Self-realization? | Ramana Ans.

🪔 This video is a contemplative offering created by devotees, for devotees, using human voices as an expression of reverence and intimacy with the teachings. The words of Sri Ramana Maharshi presented here are drawn from his most trusted and authoritative sources, including Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, Day by Day with Bhagavan, Guru Vācaka Kōvai, Who Am I? (Nāṉ Yār?), Letters from Sri Ramanasramam, Be As You Are, and Upadēśa Sāram. Each excerpt was carefully selected to preserve the original spirit, depth, and clarity of Ramana’s direct pointing to the Self.

Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879–1950) stands as one of the most luminous sages of Advaita Vedānta in modern times. Born in Tiruchuzhi, South India, he underwent a spontaneous awakening at the age of sixteen, after which he lived in silence at the sacred mountain Arunāchala. His life was a living expression of non-duality, rooted not in doctrine but in direct realization. Through his presence and simple yet radical teachings, Ramana pointed seekers back to the Heart (Hṛdaya) as the source of the Self, emphasizing Self-inquiry (Ātma-vicāra) as the direct path to liberation.

In this video, we explore Ramana Maharshi’s clear and uncompromising answers to a timeless question: How can one know if genuine spiritual progress is taking place? Drawing directly from his recorded conversations, letters, and core texts, Ramana dissolves common misconceptions about spiritual advancement. He reminds us that progress is not marked by visions, altered states, or mystical powers, but by the quiet erosion of the ego and the natural emergence of peace.

The teachings presented here illuminate subtle inner signs: the weakening of identification with the body, the spontaneous turning of the mind inward, a growing indifference to praise and blame, and a deepening silence that persists even amidst activity. As thoughts lose their authority and the sense of doership fades, the Self reveals itself as effortless, ever-present Awareness. Ramana emphasizes that true maturity lies in humility, surrender, and the recognition that all is Grace.

Ultimately, this video invites the listener to rest in Being rather than striving for experiences. As Ramana gently points out, when the world begins to feel dreamlike, when resistance dissolves, and when peace becomes the natural state, the aspirant is nearing the Heart — where no seeker remains, only the Self.
