Upadesa is a Sanskrit word which literally means facilitating an entity to come back to its source, its home. Saram means the essence of such instruction towards that direction. The essential nature of mind is consciousness. But being covered by cloud of tendencies, past experiences, thoughts mind forgets that its nature is consciousness. This is called Self-forgetfulness.A mind that is in a state of Self-forgetfulness(Atma vismruti) leaves its source which is Self and identifies with non-Self adjuncts like the ego(Ahamkara, "I" thought), thinking process(manas)intellect(Buddhi), memory (chitta)the physical body and seeks happiness outside and in the process collects lot of misery because of conflict that is inherent in the dualistic phenomenal reality. After a break even point unable to bear this misery it starts inquiring into what is the cause of all this misery and starts investigating "who am I"," what is my nature", " whence am i" etc. When mind uninterruptedly does this quest it existentially negates the five coverings(Pancha kosas) covering the consciousness i.e sheaths of body, vital airs(Prana)mind(manas, the thinking faculty), intellect(Buddhi, the discriminatory faculty, sheath of Self-ignorance(Anandamaya kosa)it remembers that its nature is pure conscious being. So in this way the process of bringing back the outgoing mind to its source is described in 30 Sanskrit slokas by Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi which is named as Upadesa Saram by him. If his message in this properly understood it annihilates Self-ignorance and confers Self-Knowledge. Such Self-knowledge conferring books are called Darshana Grandhas in Sanskrit.Upadesa Saram is such a book. In this work the author Dr.P.V.S.Suryanarayana Raju commented on these 30 slokas of Bhagawan's Upadesa Sar

Author is a pediatrician from Indis practising self-inquiry from the past 30 years and wrote 60 books on the subject and this is one of them. He feels that we have to change the means of action to have radical transformation of human mind.Our action is result oriented and so always we seek security.We don't do action for action sake and thinking for sake.We never think without an end in view. We never act without an end in view.This produces outer and inner conflict in life.We have to be aware of thinking process.The way how we think molds our action in relationship which is life.At present one human is against another, one family against another, one country against another leading to strife and war.The only to avoid this conflict is th have love as the basis of love.If we are aware of self activity only then love and compassion arises in us.Self-inquiry leads to Self knowledge and Self knowledge has no end in vie
