Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Excuse my impertinence. To ask this question is to know not Ramana Maharshi as the Light, Love and Truth of these words. We are Beloveds All. Thank you for your question. - kutasthah Sunday, July 17, 2005 4:01 AM Re: Enlightenment Excuse my ignorance, but what has this got to do with Bhagavan SriRamana Maharshi?Thank you...kutasthah--- In , "Anna Ruiz" <nli10u@c...> wrote:> > "That's the remarkable thing, isn't it?

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Perhaps Harshaji will offer clarification of this, but it is my impression that this list encourages posts from a variety of traditions. While it has been renamed Ramana Guru, that does not mean that the posts are limited to quotes of or about Sri Ramana. It is well known that he embraced many paths as suited his devotees' needs. What we ask mostly is amity and kindness in how we treat one another, and good taste in our expressions. If anyone wonders whether their post or the post of another fits the list, it might be a good idea first to take a look at the list description :-) / Love, Joyce PS... Deep is good :-) - Anna Ruiz Sunday, July 17, 2005 6:42 AM Re: Re: Enlightenment Excuse my impertinence.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 The silent Guru that Ramana was, if we all were only to post his teachings/stories, we would run out of matter in a couple of months. Please consider this.
