This recent collection of conversations between him and the many seekers who came to his ashram for guidance contains the essence of his teaching. His concern throughout his long life of imparting his experience to others was to convince his listeners that self-realisation - or enlightenment - is not an alien or mysterious state, but the natural condition of man. This state can be easily discovered by undertaking the self-investigation clearly described in these talks. The lucid instructions to each section provide further illumination of this greater seer's message. Review: Spiritual - Very to the point question and answer book. The teachings are for any spiritual seeker. Review: One Of The Most Profound and Useful Books I Have Ever Read - In this book, Sri Ramana Maharshi presents a clear path and a workable plan -- a "System of Enquiry" as he calls it -- for overcoming anxiety, stilling the mind, finding eternal internal peace and contentment, and discovering your true Self -- or as he might put it better, "Being" Your Self. I have read literally hundreds of books hitherto to help me achieve these goals, and this book, in my humble opinion, is head and shoulders above the rest, in its directness, simplicity, and effectveness. He himself, without false modesty, claims in this book that the "atma vichara" approach that he shares is the one plan that will help a practitioner achieve these goals more than any other. I believe him. For this is what I have experienced. It does not require "controlling your thoughts," embracing an external Deity, following a specific arduous path of meditation, renunciation, or discipline, or any more of the heavy mind-and-body-stuff which often adds more a burden to your already established thought-baggage than it is worth. He helps you get directly to your soul -- to your Self. It is more like learning to let go of all the illusions and discover and resonate with and be the eternal Self that you are, at one with all life, underlying all. I have heard this put in many ways in many teachings old and new, quite well, before. But the difference here, with the "I Am That I Am" and "Who Am I?" (or "Who Is It That Is Experiencing This Difficult Experience?") approach (repeating one of these consistently when in the face of doubt over external object-identification problems or just as an awakening agent for the soul), as well as the stable, calm, Self-assured, egoless way in which Sri Maharshi presents his tools and philosophy, through this I have found great inner peace, possibly for the first time in my entire life -- And I have just begun! Yes, I have put his teachings to work and they work for me -- wonderfully well -- in: * Finding peace of mind. * Overcoming all my fears, including the fear of ageing, illness, poverty, and death. * Discovering and being my true Self. And I can see myself becoming stronger and more stable and peaceful and happier all the time with these techniques. What more can anyone say than this? Except that I will continue to study and practice his teachings, and sooner or later, share them with my thousands of psychic astrology clients, for their health and happiness too. The world certainly needs peace at this time -- and there is no other place for it to begin than within. ## Features - The simple but powerful teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of India's most revered spiritual masters, continue to enlighten and enrich over sixty years after his death. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,549 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Indian Eastern Philosophy #48 in Spiritualism #349 in Christian Self Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,797 Reviews | ## Images ![Be As You Are: The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi (Compass) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PgeF1kEzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spiritual *by K***Y on March 31, 2026* Very to the point question and answer book.

The questions posed to Ramana Maharshi are excellent. Maharshi is very intelligent and and gifted teacher. I would highly recommend this book to learn about self-enquiry which he is famous for, as well as all of his other important teachings. ## Frequently Bought Together - Be As You Are: The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi (Compass) - Who Am I?: The Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi - The Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8172558-be-as-you-are-the-teachings-of-sri-ramana-maharshi](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8172558-be-as-you-are-the-teachings-of-sri-ramana-maharshi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
