5. The Importance of Practice & The Importance of Practice, Part 2

There are two paths of awakening – surrender and withdrawing from the world. The Teachings of Inner Ramana teaches surrender as the primary path to awakening. The purpose of surrender is to live an active life without being attached to mind. The first message taught in this episode starts with "Much of what you do comes from the ego." It defines the ego as belief in the false identity “I”. Later, it goes on to say: "When you ask me for guidance in the moment, you are giving willingness to detach from ego ... or belief in the false 'I' ... and realize true Self through non-attachment." Assignment for week 5: Keep practicing the mantra, keep surrendering, and let it marinade in your mind this week that ‘I’ is not needed. Cooking can still happen, driving can still happen, recognising children and talking to children can still happen... I don’t need this ‘I’.
