Appaḷa Pāṭṭu verse 4 Q&A

In a Zoom meeting of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK on 26th February 2022 Michael James first discussed in detail the meaning and implications of verse 4 of Appaḷa Pāṭṭu, and that first portion of this meeting has been posted here as a separate episode: Appaḷa Pāṭṭu verse 4.

After discussing this, Michael answered questions on this and other aspects of Bhagavan’s teachings, particularly the practice of self-investigation and self-surrender, so this second portion of the meeting is posted here as this video.

While answering these questions Michael discusses the meaning and implications of various passages from Bhagavan’s writings, including Appaḷa Pāṭṭu, Nāṉ Ār?, Śrī Aruṇācala Aṣṭakam, Śrī Aruṇācala Pañcaratnam, Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu, Āṉma-Viddai and the note he wrote for his mother in December 1898.
