Fw: [RamanaMaharshi] Maharshi: plunging into the Self

[Guest guest]

----

D. Through poetry, music, japa, bhajana, the sight ofbeautiful

landscapes, reading the lines of spiritualverses, etc., one

experiences sometimes a true senseof all-unity. Is that feeling of

deep blissful quiet(wherein the personal self has no place) the same

asthe entering into the heart of which Bhagavan speaks?Will practice

thereof lead to a deeper samadhi and soultimately to a full vision of

the Real? M. There is happiness when agreeable things arepresented to

the mind. It is the happiness inherent tothe Self, and there is no

other happiness. And it isnot alien and afar. You are diving into the

Self onthose occasions which you consider pleasurable; thatdiving

results in self-existent bliss. But theassociation of ideas is

responsible for foisting thatbliss on other things or occurrences

while, in fact,that bliss is within you. On these occasions you

areplunging into the Self, though unconsciously. If youdo so

consciously, with the conviction that comes ofthe experience that you

are identical with thehappiness which is verily the Self, the one

Reality,you call it Realization. I want you to diveconsciously into

the Self, i.e., into the heart. - Maharshi's Gospel
