Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Thanks Holly. I remember your sharing this story some years ago on the K-List. It was a powerful experience and has stayed with you. Such moments remind us of our eternal existence. Many people went to Sri Ramana. They got according to their capacity. Many people read about him and his teachings. Each gets according to their receptivity and faith and grace. When Sri Ramana's body was dying, he said, "Where can I go. I am here." So Sri Ramana is as alive today as he ever was. If one doubts that (Tony, you are a good man and I love you), then Sri Ramana's teaching is not fully understood. Sri Ramana was the Heart. We are the same Heart. Exact Same. No cheap copy or anything. Same Heart. Same Sameness. Such conviction comes from knowing the Heart as the Self. Heart is neither external nor internal. Worship of God, Murti, Ishta Devata outside turns into surrender and one lands in the Heart and becomes the Heart. Sri Krishna says to Arjuna, "I am in the Heart of all beings...." Self-Inquiry and surrender merge and the Heart Reveals It Self as the Eternal Being. One's Very Own Being.

Namaste Harsha, I understand Ramana very well, and what you say bears out what I said about naming and transference of images to our own Higher Self. So Ramana the body and mind or Jesus or Buddha don't exist. What exist is the nameless inner being that always did. Ramana was just the name of a body that's all. It is gone.........ONS..Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
