Guest guest Posted December 24, 2000 Report Share Posted December 24, 2000 A Devotee's conversation with Sri Ramana Maharshi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One day I was seated near Bhagavan's couch and I felt puzzled by the ancient teaching that everything is maya or illusion. I wondered how it could be, when I saw Bhagavan, the couch on which he sat, the barrier separating me from Bhagavan and myself. "Bhagavan, can all of us be unreal and non-existent ? Please enlighten me ?" Bhagavan laughed and asked me whether I had any dream the previous night. I replied I had seen several people lying asleep. He said , "Suppose, now I ask you to go and wake all those people in the dream and tell them that they are not real, how absurd would it be ! That is how it is to me. There is nothing but the dreamer, so where does the question of dream people, real or unreal arise; still more of waking them up and telling them that they are not real ? We are all unreal, Why do you doubt it ? That alone is real." Anand Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
