Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 ***************** from ********************* " A Practical Guide to Know Yourself" Conversations with Ramana Maharshi Compiled and Edited by A.R.Natarajan ********************************************** The Natural State ________________ D: I have riches , power , every material comfort , but am unable to find peace. B: Why do you want peace ? Why cannot you be as you are? D: Because I am not happy otherwise. B: It is like this. A man suffering from headache will not rest quietly until he has taken the right medicine and got rid of his ailment. For, health is our nature and not illness. Likewise peace is our nature. Indeed we are peace. Forgetting that, we seek peace from external sources. It is an impossible quest and causes all this trouble. The moment you withdraw your mind from external objects and turn inwards you taste real peace and feel happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
