Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 This relates to the visit of Professor Thomas, a Sanskrit professor at University of Oxford - December 26, 1937. I have selected certain portions of his conversation with Sri Ramana. Professor: Love postulates duality. How can Self be the object of love. Sri Ramana: Love is not different than Self. Love of an object is of an inferior order and cannot endure. Whereas the Self is Love, in other words, God is Love. Professor: Does Sri Bhagavan advocate Advaita. Sri Ramana: Dvaita and Advaita are relative terms. They are based on the sense of duality. The Self is as it is. There is neither Advaita nor Dvaita. I AM THAT I AM. Simple Being is Self. Later at another point in the conversation that Ramana Maharshi commented on the use of the term Sat-Chit-Ananda (Jody would like this). Sat denotes being beyond sat and asat. Chit beyond chit and achit. Andanda beyond bliss and non-bliss. >From the "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi" Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
