'Where could I go? I am always here'

[Guest guest]

Today I was reading an article " My Living Teacher - Writings About

Sri Ramana Maharshi " by Sri Miles Wright, in Sri Harsha's web site.

The following passage in that article is very interesting to read in

the present juncture :

 

A friend recently sent me a book, "Surpassing Love and Grace", An

offering from His devotees. In it Chadwick says,"The whole mistake is

initial, in the interpretation they put on the word jivanmukta; or in

what they think a jnani really is and how he functions. When it is

found that a jivanmukta is already absorbed in the Infinite and that

for him the apparent change he undergoes is no change at all, there

should be no more misapprehension. There is no further step for a

jnani to take; he lost all sense of doership or association with a

particular body when he finally knew himself to be jnani. The

physical death is only just a happening in the myriad strange

happenings in maya. He was in no way limited to a body while it was

functioning. It was there, one might almost say, for us. We needed

something that we could see, somebody who could speak to us. Now we

must get along without the comfort of the physical presence,

but it does not mean Bhagavan has gone anywhere, indeed, as he said

himself: 'Where could I go? I am always here.''" (p. 260)
