One day, Ramana Maharishi, discovered who he was with a stroke of inspiration. How does one discover that by simply sitting and saying, ''Who am I? Who am I?’' How is that possible? You could as well say, ''Idli!, Idli!'' (Will you find an Idli?). “Who am I?'' cannot be found by by repeating the mantra, "Who am I? Who am I?’' It only helps to delve into your inner consciousness, to find out how your mind operates. Otherwise, you just induce a dull hypnotic state by saying, “Who am I? Who am I?” You might feel some euphoria too. ''I have attained brahman’’ - this is what happens! You can also get that experience by drinking bhang. No need of ‘’Who am I?’'
