Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 GURU Questioner: Bhagavan says he has no disciples. Bhagavan Ramana: (Looking at me (Chadwick) suspiciously) - Yes. Questioner: But Bhagavan also says that for the majority of aspirants the Guru is necessary. Bhagavan Ramana: Yes. Questioner: Then what am I to do? I have come all this distance and sat at Bhagavan's feet all these years. Has it all been a waste of time? Bhagavan Ramana: For a seeker, God in his grace takes a form in order to lead him to his formless state. Has he any doubt about it? Ask him, does he want me to give him a written document? Go and call Narayana Iyer, Sub-Registrar and tell him to make one out for him. >From the section: "GURU" (page 18) in the book, "Ramana Maharshi Answers 100 Questions," compiled and edited by A.R.

Namaste, Whoever this leonardjacobson is or whoever wrote this verbiage, does not know his proverbial from a hole in the ground. This is the problem with these 'writers', and would be gurus. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I am Vidya or true knowledge. This writer doesn't even have the basic understandting or the relationship of ego to mind and what the mind is. Or is this another joke or spoof I'm falling into........ONS..Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Good call, Harsha. I still remember your wonderful words from a few years ago. Quoting from memory, "If you want to be enlightened here, that's fine. We eat enlightenment for breakfast and realization for lunch. But to be on this list, you must be kind." --Greg At 06:59 PM 2/5/2004 +0000, harshaimtm wrote: --- In , "jim rich" <jimnirene@a...> wrote: > > http://www.leonardjacobson.com/mystic_set.html > > Ramana Maharshi is famous for these quotes: "The Mind has to be > destroyed."
