Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 - Viorica Weissman RamanaMaharshi Sunday, August 26, 2001 1:29 AM [RamanaMaharshi] Annamalai Swami - the jnani is like the sun All suffering begins with the notion of duality. As long as this duality-consciousness is strongly fixed in the mind one cannot give any real help to other people. If one realizes one's non-dual nature and becomes peaceful within , one becomes a fit instrument to help others. When one has stabilised in the Self , the inner peace which one experiences at all times flows out to all people. This natural radiation heals and uplifts humanity far more than any amount of physical activity. The jnani is just like the sun. The sun radiates light and warmth continuously and indiscriminately. The jnani effortlessly radiates his own nature - his love , his peace , his joy - to the whole universe. Even though the sun is always present , to receive its rays we have to turn towards it. Similarly , if we want spiritual light , we should turn towards a realised being. If one makes a conscious effort to stay in the light of a jnani , the darkness of spiritual ignorance automatically vanishes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living by the Words of Bhagavan David Godman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Post message: RamanaMaharshi Subscribe: RamanaMaharshi- Un: RamanaMaharshi- List owner: RamanaMaharshi-owner Shortcut URL to this page: /community/RamanaMaharshi Your use of Groups is subject to the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
