Ramana Maharshi's teaching is complete. It provides both the method and the goal, the path and the destination. The method is self-inquiry, and the goal is the Self. The path is simple and direct, and it leads directly to the goal.

The teaching covers all aspects of spiritual life - the nature of the Self, the nature of the mind, the obstacles on the path, the methods to overcome them, and the goal of Self-realization. It is a complete teaching that leaves nothing out.

This completeness is why the teaching has been so effective. It provides everything that is needed for Self-realization. One does not need to look elsewhere or to add anything to it. The teaching is self-contained and complete in itself.
