A small article appeared in England in 1932 about a an englishman visiting India and his experiences ,The article received extraordinary response from all across the england,''Paul Brunton'' was requested by no. of people to write a complete book on the subject , On recommendation of a friend I came across this book ,The book describes the state of Mind of an ordinary person born & Living in a materialistic society where there is no place for things like ''Complete surrender to GOD'' or ''SELF INQUIRY''.
The writer Visits various spots in India various temples ,Faquirs but ultimately finds the ''MAGNET OF PERSONALITY'' in Maharishi Ramana ,who enlightens him about the real ''SELF'' residing inside which is completely ignored as the self we identify is not the True Self.
A thief steals because he wants to be happy , we drink wine to get a kick and feel tipsy ,we work hard to earn money and enjoy ,So the basic nature of true self is to be happy,it is through the method of ''SELF INQUIRY'' ,finding the source of all the thoughts ,from where they are rising that ultimately you will realise your true being.
Paul brunton wrote many a books after this one but this was the best seller of all times and still is little difficult to source.you can check about''SELF INQUIRY at https://ramana-maharishi.org
