Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 T.K. Sundaresa Iyer: One day I wondered why I was visiting him at all. What was the use? There seemed to be no inner advancement. Going up the hill was meaningless toil. I decided to end my visits on the hill. For a hundred days exactly I did not see Bhagavan. On the hundred and first day I could suffer no longer and ran to Skandashram, above Virupaksha cave. Bhagavan saw me climbing, got up and came forward to meet me. When I fell at his feet, I could not restain myself and burst out in tears. I clung to his feet and would not get up. Bhagavan pulled me up and asked, "It is over three months since I saw you. Where were you?" I told him how I thought that seeing him was of no use. "All right", he said, "maybe it is of no use, so what? You felt the loss, did you not?" Then I understood that we did not go to him for profit, but because, away from him there was no life for us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in: Ramana Smrti, 2nd ed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
