What 'bothered me' last time was the impression (probably a mis- perception) that Ramana was being appreciated but his teachings were being ignored. But then i realized: Ramana and his teachings are One and inseparable :-). Love, Tim / Omkara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
