RE: [RamanaMaharshi] You should plunge into Self-Enquiry

[Guest guest]

Dear

Swathi,

 

Thank

you for your posts. Sometimes questions come up from people just learning of

Sri Ramana’s teachings about booklets and books on Sri Ramana’s

teachings and explanations. Different yogis, authors, and works resonate with

different people and that is due to our mental makeup. So one can study

whatever works help them on the path to knowing the Self.

 

The Heart,

the Self is the original source of the teaching. That Heart manifested as the great

sage of Arunachala and Sri Ramana’s words point to the Heart. “Talks

with Sri Ramana Maharshi” and “Day by Day with Bhagavan”

are good sources of Bhagavan’s teachings as these are mostly his own

words (although mostly uttered in other languages), and they capture the

essence of the pure teaching and the devotees in tune can sense Sri Ramana’s

force behind these. The recollections of devotees are wonderful as well.

 

Love to

all

Harsha

Namaste Harsha IMHO,

 

I can agree in part with what you have said depending on whether one

is talking relatively or absolutely. The Self manifests as everybody

and everything, at a certain 'level'; However I don't think the Self

manifested as Ramana anymore than it does as Harsha. Ramana, like

all of us ran on prarabda karma, although he had a purified

vijnanamayakos, which allowed a more truthful approach to all.

The Self provides the energy as such, and as the 'Ground' it is a

witness not a participant. It is the programmed destiny of karma

that Ramana operated on. It is the Universal Mind which operates in

Ramana for there is only karma and prana in the universe, the Self

being Sakshin or Witness.............ONS...Tony.
