Nothing about his teachings is rudimentary.
The feel like that because they look as simple thoughts.
But those simple thoughts are enough to attain realization of the self, according to hindu philosophy.
However, they are not suited for the normal layman, because realization through Ramana Maharshis teachings involves a certain level of knowledge and thought.
I highly encourage you to read "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi" by his disciple.
In those talks, maharshi breaks down how the elaborate hindu cultural and vedic literature ultimately boils down to utter simplicity.
- nabla9 6y agoI have read it. The point is that for committed practitioners reading books and listening teaching talks is not is not enough. It helps only so much. Buddhist teacher was someone who had meditated and studied decades. He recognized Maharshis was very realized. His point was that Maharshis was not able to teach more than that was in his talks in personal contact. Well known fact in these circles is that medicore person who has struggled his whole life can teach his way to other in personal contact much better than someone who is just amazing.
