Knower is the consciousness that knows this body.

 

The truth that has been given out by innumerable

saints and sages of the past and the present is that

even though you may be dwelling in Johannesburg or

Pretoria or any other place, yet you are dwelling in

closest proximity to the Eternal and immortal Being

within your body. Your body dwells in this material

world, your mind functions in this phenomenal

universe. But at the same time, at the very moment,

you simultaneously dwell in Him who is right within

you as the essence of your existence, as the basis of

your being, as the very core of your innermost

consciousness. Even as butter is present in milk, fire

is present in wood, oil is present hidden in seed, the

Indwelling Reality is present. Butter is the very

essence of milk. Oil is the very essence of seed.

So the Reality is your very essence.

Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya

 

Dear Sri Miles,

 

Thank you indeed for this posting on the occasion of

Shankara Jayanthi.

 

I pray to the Great Acharya to throw His Radiant Light

and dispel the mist of ignorance clouding the mind.

 

Yours in Sri Bhagavan,
