If one is sincerely on the path of Truth, one's internal language needs to change, to match and harmonize with one's direct experience.
There is a hidden assumption in saying "I went to the store.":
The dehatma buddhi "I AM the body" idea.
The experience may be "The body was moved through the mind to the store and back home."
One may continually ask oneself "What is the Truth about this?"
One has to long for the Truth, more than wanting to be "right" or to "look good". One must be willing to see that one is wrong.
Listen to all the mind has to say, asking "What else?" and "What else is true?" accepting without judgment all that arises, until the mind has no more to say and is silent.
After the mind has had it's say, keep listening, keep asking. Sometimes a deeper Truth will arise from the Heart to inform the mind which has become humble, silent, open, listening.
When this happens, one needs no external acknowledgment, no proof, as one's whole being resonates with a giant "YES!", one Knows.
The Truth is there, in the Heart. One has only to want it, to ask, to listen. Shhh.
Spiritual Truth is not in books. Words are only pointers, little black marks on a piece of paper. WHO gives them meaning? The Truth lies at the core of your being, prior to mind and senses.
The mind's beliefs, conditioning and ideas must be stripped away by the Truth in the Heart.
The whole creation spills out of a tiny pinhole in the heart. Someday you will laugh.
The Atma Vichara is the best question, but all questions are valuable, if the search is sincere.
The Atma Vichara will bring Direct Experience, unmediated by the mind, the senses, or books.
Blessings and joy rain down on one, drown one, on this path, Sri Ramana's Path.
Sri Ramana's path is Grace.
Begin over and over and over.
If you must read, use the mind like a pair of glasses and ask the Heart to read and interpret for Truth. Ask the heart everything, what to say, what to eat, what to wear, where to go. Listen and obey.
