Sri Ramana Maharshi

[Guest guest]

Krishna Bhikshu (speaking of the Sage of Arunachala)

 

I asked Bhagavan: "Bhagavan, kindly show me a good

path.What are you doing now ?" he asked. "When I am

in the right mood, I sing the songs of

Tyagaraja and I recite the holy Gayatri. I was also

doing some pranayama but these breathing exercises

have upset my health."

 

"You had better stop them. But never give up the

Advaita Dristhi (non dual vision)." At that time I

could not understand his words.

 

I went to Benares for a month, returned to Pondicherry

and spent five months there. Wherever I would go

people would find some fault or other with me:

"You are too weak, not fit for yoga, you do not know

how to concentrate, you cannot hold your breath, you

are unable to fast, you need too much sleep,

you cannot keep vigils, you must surrender all your

property . . ." Only Bhagavan asked for nothing, found

fault with nothing. As a matter of truth, there was

nothing in me that entitled me to his grace. But it

did not matter with Bhagavan. He wanted me, not my

goodness. It was enough to tell him "I am yours", and

for him to do the rest. In that way he was

unsurpassed.
