Nan Ar? (Who am I?) paragraph 17 Q&A

In a Zoom meeting of the ‘Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK’ on 30th October 2021 Michael first discussed in detail the seventeenth paragraph of Nāṉ Ār? (Who am I?), and that first portion of this meeting has been posted here as a separate episode: Nan Ar? (Who am I?) paragraph 17.

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 episode. While answering these questions he also discusses the meaning and implications of various other passages from Bhagavan’s writings, including Nāṉ Ār?, Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu, Upadēśa Undiyār, the introduction (avatārikai) that he wrote for his Tamil translation of Dṛg-Dṛśya-Vivēka and Aruṇācalaramaṇaṉ.
