"Who am I, Nayana?"

[Guest guest]

Sri Bhagavan was in the Virupaksha Cave on the

Hill. One evening after 7 p.m., they were all coming

down the Hill to go round Arunachala. The other

devotees had all gone in advance; only Sri Kavyakanta

Ganapati Muni was in the company of Sri Maharshi,

and they were slowly climbing down the steps from

the cave.

 

When they had walked a few steps, all of a sudden

Sri Maharshi stopped, and with Him Sri Kavyakanta as

well. The full moon was shining bright in the last in

the starry sky. Pointing to the moon and the beautiful

sky, Sri Bhagavan said:

"Nayana! If the moon, and all the stars have their being

in ME, and the sun himself goes round My hip with his

satellites, who am I? Who am I?"
