What are we to efface?

[Guest guest]

Merry Xmas everyone.

 

My answer for Jody is we should let go our attachment to our past

story.

 

Wholeness is inclusive not exclusive so I understand why you ask.

 

Peace,

Lord Sri Krishna says:

 

Etavan aatmasammoho edwikalpastu kevakai

 

Atmaanrite swameyaatma avalmbo nayesya hi.

 

It is due to My enchantment (Lila) that that ONE appears as many.With Me as the

Basis or substratum only ,the individual is experiencing this.Otherwise there is

nothing else (other than Me)

 

Happy Sankranti to all! May God shower His choicest Blessings!

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."
