Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Sri Ramana once said that many advanced souls get liberation after reaching higher planes and that a few rare ones attain mukti right here and now. In such cases the Prana along with mind (Kundalini Shakti) is said to get fully absorbed in the Spiritual Heart. When Sri Ramana's body was dying, people were asking the Sage to not leave. "Where can I go. I am here" was the reply of the Ramana Maharshi. "Where can I go"? It means that the "I" having been absorbed in the Heart has become the Heart It Self and transcends all time and space. Therefore the question of the "I" (with the help of Prana) coming and going is completely moot. Self-Realization is realizing the unity of Atman (individual soul) and ParamAtman (Supreme Soul). How is it done? As an analogy think of Atman as circle with a center. When we enter this center or Heart, we see that ParamAtman's center is This as well but it has no circumference. True Identity is Realized as the Self or the Heart. This is why Sri Krishna states to Arjuna, " I am in the Heart of all O' Gudakesha...." Love to all Harsha ===== /join Mail Plus - Powerful.
