Perhaps upon hearing this, Sri Ramana would smile and beam silently! :-). :-).Another Sri Ramana quiz! How would he answer if pressed? :-). :-). That has been pointed at in the biography. Ramana, silent despite his crying mother wanting to talk to him, could be pressed to write to her. The argument, writing wouldn't violate a vow of silence. The funny thing, no vow of silence had been taken.

Does anyone remember the source of that off > hand comment by the Sage? :-). This is a Sri Ramana quiz! :-).I fail here too. Sometimes I think Sri Ramana's answers were stated in particular to the individual, as in this case. His complete insistence on the mind experience being a dream makes me believe this passage about other planes was an illustration for something.I hope you are still there. I had to go out for awhile.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi Larry Larry: Impermanence! the ephemeral condition of my supposed being!? After reading this these words of wisdom came to mind "Thus is how ye shall see all this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, a flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream." (From the Diamond Sutra) & "Form is like a mass of foam and feeling but an airy bubble. Perception is like a mirage and formations like a plantain tree. Consciousness is a magic show, a juggler's trick entire." (S. III 142) With Lovingkindess, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
