Self-enquiry

Self-enquiry (also spelled self-inquiry) (Sanskrit ātma-vicāra) is the constant attention to the inner awareness of ‘I’ or ‘I am’). Sri Ramana Maharshi frequently recommended it as the most efficient and direct way of discovering the unreality of the ‘I’-thought. He taught that the ‘I’-thought will disappear and only "I-I" or Self-awareness remains, which is Self-realization or liberation.
