Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Questions come up of Sadhana and how to achieve Realization. These show our quest for Self and the intuition that something lies behind the personality. Sri Ramana used to say that all deep thinking people are fascinated by the nature of consciousness. So yes one should do Sadhana. And if one is a mature yogi, Sri Ramana may look him/her directly in the eye and ask, "what is it that you conceive Sadhana to be?" I conceive Sadhana to be..... I conceive Sadhana to be...... I conceive Sadhana to be.......... So the "I" conceives Sadhana to be...... The "I" conceives Sadhana to be... What truth can be expected from this "I" when it goes outwards, poses as very muscular and important and conceptualizes such and such. This is why Sri Ramana would often ask, "Who is this "I" .... Go to the heart of the matter. Whatever Sadhana you do, who is doing it? What is the source of this doing? To do great Sadhana, one needs to be strong and strong willed and determined and powerful (Perhaps like TexasBob). To go to the source of all Sadhana, one needs to be like a child, simple, with complete trust in his mother. All techniques and Sadhana etc., depend only on their Mother (consciousness) to be actualized. When Ganapati Muni fell to Sri Ramana's feet and told him that he had done countless mantras and asked him the meaning of "Tapas", what did Sri Ramana say? He said if you watch from where the mantra arises, that is "Tapas". So the Truth is always simple and free and in abundance.
