RE: Paul Brunton and Ramana Maharshi

[Guest guest]

I went through the link

quickly, all three chapters. Its like a book! It is well written, offers the

usual information available from other direct sources. It is

not aimed at devotees but at Brunton scholars perhaps… (Although I

could not tell who it is aimed at). Sometimes Sri Ramana’s statements and

words are used to reach conclusions that the author appears to want to reach

(the difficulty with this approach is that Sri Ramana said different things at

different times to different people and never worried about consistency). Therefore,

it is possible to reach a number of different and opposing conclusions by

selectively quoting Bhagavan without appreciating the context of his very human

personality. In my view, it is difficult to write meaningfully about the Sage

of Arunachala without a grasp of Sri Ramana’s teachings that comes fully

only with the experience and knowledge of the Self.

thank you deeply for your work for us all.

 

What you wrote

 

 

In my view, it is difficult to write meaningfully about the Sage of

Arunachala without a grasp of Sri Ramana’s teachings that comes fully

only with the experience and knowledge of the Self.

 

is exactly that what i feel.

This advice has to be followed - if we do not want to end up again and

again in intellectuality, in mind illusions, in suffering.

 

May this light of TRUTH shine in us and help us moment to moment.....
