Not really interested what Jung says about Maharshi - I had a Jung phase after my Freud phase, aged about 20, and came away not at all impressed. Also had a Hindu guru (and many other religions) phase in my mid 20s. I loved Vivekananda, but Maharshi was the most impressive. I read the Gospel of Ramana Maharshi again 20 years later..and 90%+ of it still seemed true, because he mostly taught from his direct experience, not what he'd heard or read in books. What he knew to be true. More immediately accessible for westerners might be Gangaji, an American woman, who has videos (some on youtube) and books out, who is in Maharshi's lineage, and has that same quality of speaking from direct experience. She's great. Also I got a lot from Ram Dass's books and tapes. Yes, the guy who was a Harvard psychology professor until he had LSD. Super-articulate and I love his attitude, full of love and joy.
