They are exactly the same &#; the same application of doubt in different fields. About objects, the outside world that spreads to millions of stars, doubt has given tremendous insight just within years. You are carrying another world within yourself, which is in no way smaller than the world you see outside; perhaps it is bigger. Why do I say that perhaps it is bigger? I am including the word `perhaps&#; so that you should not believe. I know it is bigger, for the simple reason that you know the stars, you know the sun, you know the moon &#; but the moon does not know you, the sun does not know you. The stars are great, the universe is vast, but you are the only knower. You have something more than the whole universe.

The primary instruction manual for Ramana Maharshi’s method.
WHEN PEOPLE CAME to Ramana Maharshi’s ashram during his lifetime, a short pamphlet called Who Am I? was the first thing they were given to read. It was always available and the price was only half an anna so even the poorest visitors could afford it.
The pamphlet explains how to practice the method that Ramana recommended for becoming Self-realized. It’s very short. My copy has 16 pages.
The first draft was written by one of Ramana’s earliest devotees in or when Ramana was about 21 years old. The devotee asked Ramana questions and wrote down his answers. The pamphlet grew longer over the years as material was added, but originally the first question was:
Who am I?
Ramana’s first answer was:
Arivu alone is I.
