உபதேச மஞ்சரி

A short treatise in question-and-answer form, arranged in four parts —instruction, practice, experience and attainment—, that gathers Ramana's answers on teacher and disciple, the methods of enquiry and the nature of the realised state. Its concision has made it one of the basic texts included in the collected works.
