Waking, dream, self-investigation and self-surrender

In a Zoom meeting on 28th September 2021 Robert and Michael discuss various aspects of the teachings of Bhagavan Ramana, particularly his teaching that our present state is just a dream, and the practice of self-investigation and self-surrender. Early in this discussion Robert refers to one of Michael’s recent articles, which he had written in reply to a question asked by Robert: Other people seem to be real because we seem to be a person.

During this discussion Michael refers to and/or discusses the following passages from Bhagavan’s writings:

Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu verses 24, 25 and 26

Ēkāṉma Pañcakam verse 1

Nāṉ Ār? paragraph 15

Śrī Aruṇācala Padigam verse 9
