Who am I? Ask yourself, day and night, "who am I"? Analyze your entire personality. Try to see where the idea of "I" appears? Continue to meditate in this way. Some day, the wheel of thoughts will slow down and an intuition will appear as through miracle. Follow that intuition, let your thoughts stop and you will attain your goal. (Ramana Maharshi) Commentary India equals yoga and yoga equals meditation. One can not imagine India without yogis and without meditation. But now a day meditation acquired an unjustified fame and, thus, became the very source of fulfillment of our most illusory dreams. And what is worst, meditation acquired many infinite nuances and colors depending on the need and fantasy of modern "gurus"; therefore it doesn't have no more of a true yoga spiritual technique, but rather from a comedy or treachery aiming at our straying from the Truth. With Ramana Maharshi, meditation is still simple as one may be conducted to ask himself with in amaze: "Really that simple?" Ramana Maharshi used to say that people need mysteries and thus they created the religious systems. But they need delusion too and in this concern they created the meditation and the so-called spiritual techniques. With Ramana Maharshi - I repeat - meditation procedure was very simple and aimed at the realization of the Self. Nothing less or more...  In short, all we have to do is to meditate, day and night, that is, to search our being with the question who am I? Step by step, we will start to see beyond our thoughts, as the thoughts and ideas will cease themselves. Our mind will remain still and clear, in its native shape,  pure like a sun on an empty sky at midnight. This is our Self. Ramana Maharhsi's solution in searching our inner Self is simple but, unfortunately, we  are infinitely complex!
