Publisher's Synopsis
Ramana Maharshi's Sat Darshanam was revealed in the middle of the twentieth century, and the Kena Upanishad was revealed seven thousand years ago by an unknown seer, yet the self-evident truth that both reveal is timeless. To properly set foot on the path of knowledge means that one should not ignore the mind, attempt to transcend or remove it, but to cultivate it assiduously by gradually shifting one's attention from one's person - the "I-sense" - to Being itself, which is seemingly hidden "behind" the mind.s commentary is dedicated to Ramana Maharshi, whose teachings about the nature of freedom have been largely misunderstood by Western seekers who fail to grasp that Ramana does not endorse the view that liberation is a discrete experience of one's innermost Self, Existence shining as Awareness.
