The Only Knowing - Harshaji March 2001

[Guest guest]

is an eclectic Satsangha open to all religions and

faiths and paths in the yogic and meditative traditions and those

that lie outside such traditions. It is a spiritual fellowship that

is nurtured in an environment of mutual respect, amity, and good

will. The Sangha has the blessings of the Sage of Arunachala, Sri

Ramana Maharshi, who guided me and by whose instruction and Grace I

saw the Truth of the Heart as Pure Seeing, Pure Being, and the

Emptiness that by its very Nature is always full, always full, and

never overflowing, there being no boundaries to overflow past.

 

For the last 24 years, other than Chitrabhanuji, who is also my

friend, I have had no inclinations to visit any gurus or learn some

special knowledge, etc. Sometimes when we look at the gurus and the

wise men and the clever language games that are played by others, we

see that many such people are struggling with their own issues, their

own problems. It is enough if they can help themselves.

 

On this path, the pathless path, one is essentially alone. Until One

Realizes the Beauty and Wonder of this Alone-ness, the Wholeness of

it, the All-Oneness of It, it is nice to be in the company of good

people. Satsangha means the company of Truth, or the good people who

have Known the Truth Directly.

 

Satsangha can also be with good books. I loved those "Books of

Secrets" that were flowing from Rajneesh (Osho later) in the 1970s

for their humor, insight, brilliance, and outrageousness.

 

For me ultimately, the "Talks" with Ramana Maharshi provided the

Grace and served as a wonderful companion. Many people find Ramana's

teaching repetitive and even boring. But It was the only thing that

attracted me and what I stayed with always. Once you have looked into

the Heart and found the Heart looking at you as You, One can never

look away. One is the Heart! The Eye behind the I AM.

 

As the spring begins, I wish you all well and may everyone find the

spark of love that becomes the fire of devotion for the Lord of the

Heart. The Upanishads beautifully declare, "Know That by which all

else is known."

 

Self Knowledge is the Only Knowing.

 

Love to all

Harsha
