Q1

Let's answer Sri Ramana Maharshis question:
We all are in:
A: Natural state (introverted/resting)
B: Unnatural state(imagination/extroverted)
----

Meditation on the Self is our natural state: 
Only because we find it hard to do we imagine it to be an arbitrary and extraordinary state. 

We are all unnatural! 

The mind resting in the Self is its natural condition. 

But instead of that our minds are resting in outward objects. 

~ Ramana Maharshi
