Question about A Course in Miracles

What would Ramana Maharshi think of Jesus's teaching in A Course in Miracles?

ACIM emphasizes the significance of recognizing truth beyond perceptions, which aligns with Ramana Maharshi’s teachings on self-inquiry and the nature of reality. Maharshi often taught that the ultimate truth is realized through direct experience of the Self, free from dualistic perceptions.

In Ch.14 — The Equality of Miracles, it is affirmed that when perception does not stand between God and His creations, one can access the knowledge that transcends time, similar to the way Maharshi describes the realization of the Self as transcending the mind and its illusions. Furthermore, the teaching that miracles are expressions of love and arise naturally when aligned with the Source resonates with Maharshi's emphasis on love and compassion in spiritual practice.

The Course’s notion that recognizing one's original state leads to participation in the Atonement, as stated in Ch.1 — Atonement and miracles, may align with Maharshi’s understanding of liberation through self-awareness.

How do you view the parallels between ACIM and the self-inquiry method of Ramana Maharshi in terms of spiritual awakening?
