my Harsha/Ramana story

[Guest guest]

Before Harsha started this list, I knew of his devotion to Ramana

through the k-list and always enjoyed and respected his posts. One

day I was enduring a long airplane flight with a bad migraine (have

you noticed by the way, how many spiritual stories occur on public

transportation? What IS it about buses, planes, etc.!). I was

trying to meditate and suddenly remembered Harsha's description of

inquiry. I tried to get "behind" the headache, asking who is having

it. Suddenly my mind exploded and I WAS the airplane and all of the

people in it. The illusion of being a Holly was transparent and my

joy was boundless. Ironically enough, this happened on my birthday.

Thanks Harsha!! Love, Holly

Namaste,

 

I think you will find that Ramana didn't want devotees per se. You

know, people worshipping his picture etc. He wouldn't stop you if

that was your position on the path but his teaching was 'Who am I?'.

It always amazes me why we humans always need something external to

worship or guide us. External being the problem........ONS..Tony
