Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Suri Nagamma: Letters form Sri Ramanasramam, entry 24th April 1947, p. 189: "This afternoon at 3 o'clock, a devotee stood near Bhagavan's sofa and said: 'Swami, I have only one desire, namely to put my head on Bhagavan's foot and do namaskar (obeisance). Bhagavan must grant me this favour.' 'Oh! Is that the desire! But then which is the foot and which is the head?' asked Bhagavan. No reply. After pausing for a while Bhagavan said: 'Where the self merges, that is the foot.' 'Where is that place?' asked that devotee. 'Where? It is one's own self. The feeling 'I' 'I', the ego, is the head. Where that aham vritti (ego) dissolves, that is the foot of the Guru.'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
