Ramana Maharishi says: this self –inquiry is not the critical study of the scriptures. When the source is reached the mind (I) gets merged into it. The result of self-knowledge is cure for getting rid of the ignorance. It is the highest of all the results. There is nothing greater then it. there is no necessity to study the scriptures to acquire self-knowledge. Ramana Maharishi says:- Q by D:- Is not necessary to study the Vedas or at least the Prasthanatraya (the Bhagavad Gita,Dasopanishad and Brahma Sutras, all with commentaries)to ensure firm realization? Ramana Maharishi:-No. Do you need all that to see yourself? All that is intellectual wealth, useful in explain doubts and difficulties if others rise them or if you yourself encounter them in the course of thinking. But to attain realization, all that is not necessary. You want fresh water to drink, but you do not require all the water of the river Ganges to quench your thirst. (Page 111/112 of Practical guide to know yourself c/e by A.R.N). This surely indicates Sri, Ramana Maharishi indicates path of truth is independent path nothing to with the religion and scriptures. ~Santthosh Kumaar
