Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Ellen, Probably others have answered your questions. Sri Ramana shines like the Sun. His simple words have power beyond comprehension and directly convey the Truth of the Heart. That is my experience. Have you read Miles article on Sri Ramana as the Living Teacher. Some of Sri Ramana's devotees were the greatest yogis and sages of the day. Read their accounts. So many of them, Kunju Swami, Annamalai Swami, so many. They humbly were content to stay in Sri Ramana's shadows. You should have absolutely no doubt. Sri Ramana's words are pure grace and lead to knowledge of the Heart and Self-Realization. Love to all Harsha Ellen Sutherland wrote: Bhagavad Gita 8 Hello All, Thank you so much for all the postings I feel deeply supported by the words you share on this site.... I wonder if any or all of you could assist me? Does the technique that Ramana Maharshi espoused and taught bring you closer to becoming Enlightened (or whatever your description is of letting go of ego and opening to the Light?). It's all very well to state a 'higher truth' to someone who unable to do what the truths say to do. Seems to me I experience that we then learn and recite the laws and techniques,but cannot/do not? know them. I am wondering if you are experiencing a feel of being more removed from your personalities/egos by using this technique or, whether you are feeling more at one with All? Do you know of any of his 'followers' that became enlightened by using his technique? I recall reading that he said that his Enlightenment experience was attained so easily and young because he had practiced or gone through what he needed to do in other lives (terrible paraphrasing, forgive me). Still I would very much like to hear what your hearts say about this. Sincerely, Ellen avinASi tu tad viddhi yena sarvam idam tatam | vinASam avyayasyA 'sya na kaScit kartum arhati || (2.17) 8 --- Know That (Self), by which all of this is pervaded, is indeed imperishable.
