So what he states is actually corroborated by science. I'll leave my personal experiences out of this - as well as what teachers have shared with me, etc. But in fact the "paradox" that Ramana is discussing is found in science - in advanced high level physics - and therefore this "paradox" is something that the "ignorant folk" need as a "concession to argument."
So Ramana Maharshi uses his mind - the spiritual ego as light - to "kill" his mind - by "turning the light around" (as it is called in Daoism). So in physics (or quantum biology if you want) - light is a paradox since it has no rest mass but light does have relativistic mass (that term is not normally used anymore). So now it is called "super momentum" or "superluminal momentum." So if you were to trap light in a box you could not tell if the light was matter or not. Light transforms into matter - but the MASS stays the same - the mass meaning spacetime itself as the ether. So in quantum physics this creates the paradox called the "measurement problem" because science relies on the speed of light as the limit to make measurements - and a measurement in time requires the loss of the ether of light. The ether of light or the spacetime of light is faster than the speed of light. This problem or "measurement problem" of science is actually inherent to Western philosophy, since it goes all the way back to Plato and how a "unit" is defined by based on infinity as an external geometric measurement that is symmetric in time.
So this paradox is actually solved by the three gunas - which is OLDER than the Brahmin Vedic philosophy. So the quote I give above refers to the three gunas - and it's actually from music theory as complementary opposites. So the three gunas are actually the same as Daoism. This is something that most "advaitins" do not acknowledge. In fact I have not seen ANY advaitins acknowledge this - not even David Loy who thinks he knows about Daoism. haha.
So then we think of light as frequency based on color - but by turning the light around - we go to "zero/infinite" time as the "rest mass" of light - and so this reverses the holographic spirit information. As qigong master Yan Xin states - the qi is "bidirectional" based on intention - the Yi as intention is actually from the Shen as light. So then red light is the yin qi energy - as the Tamas blockages - and blue light is the yang qi energy as the Sattva blockages - the golden light is from the blue light neutralizing the red light - so as the blue light is absorbed this is from the Future as an Ether spacetime shift. This is explained in relativistic quantum physics. So you then increase the golden light by increasing the yellow.
So the "yuan Shen" is called the "light of no light" because it is this eternal process of "turning the light around" - and so what Ramana Maharshi did was rely on left-brain logical inference (Vichara). But he said that at first you repeat the I-I-I-I not as a mantra but as logical enquiry and the I-thought gets concentrated. THEN you visualize light on the right side of the heart as the "direct path." Now since Jnana Yoga is the highest level - he doesn't focus on the preliminary requirements of celibacy and fasting - and not even eye contact with females (as I have read the Brahmin priest rules). A three day ritual purification is required if a male brahmin priest makes eye contact with a female. So all of this is glossed over in the Western Advaita scene. But if you read Vivekananda's books on yoga - he is quite clear that Jnana is the highest level of yoga. Even in Buddhist Vipassana, if you really study it - they also teach to visualize light and that it is the highest level of meditation.
So what happens then is that the Yuan Qi as the Ether has to "surround" the light - to empower the light - and this Ether is a spacetime vortex. Western science has proven that spacetime is curved even at only 1 centimeter in distance (the size of the pineal gland). So the experience of the Yuan Qi is that is it not HIGHER nor is it LOWER but rather it is at "zero/infinity" geometry and yet it is the 5th dimension as TIME that can not be seen! So it is an "ether-knowledge" based on time (not on space). Just as Kala means Time and so Kali means to turn time around as this spacetime vortex that both creates and destroys matter.
So then in Nirvikalpa Samadhi - the mind as spirit turns back on itself as pure "reflection" - and this reflection is "held" so that the external object being reflected is then "merged" with - and so this Sattvic mind state means there is no movement but while this "reflection" is being held - there is still movement or "doing" of the Ether itself - the Ether-Knowledge can then only be logically inferred after the fact. So if you read Poonjaji's memoir, "Nothing Ever Happened" - he doesn't know what happened - when six of him (as light-matter) all attended six different birthday invitations. So from the perspective of the Yuan Shen - as "clear light" - as Ramana Maharshi states - the light gets SO BRIGHT that there loss of the ego (just as in deep sleep there loss of the ego) But there is KNOWLEDGE that remains - only it is NOT your ego knowledge. It is the Ether-Knowledge itself as formless awareness or Shakti or Yuan Qi - and this Knowledge actually operates FROM THE FUTURE - and so it can solve whatever problem was "perceived" to be happening (in the past).
And so this is happening eternally - and we can LISTEN to it or logically infer the source of light. But we can not see the source of the light. That's why Ramana Maharshi calls it Mouna Samadhi. But the West fixates on visual perception and hence the misunderstanding and the need for "concession for the sake of argument" as Ramana Maharshi explains.
