His presence stopped thoughts

[Guest guest]

Here's another tidbit from the Maharshi newsletter

(Sep/Oct 92):

 

"When I was able to sit for long hours in Bhagavan's

presence my mind would just stop thinking and I would

not notice the time passing. I was not taught to meditate

and surely did not know how to stop the mind from

thinking. It would happen quite by itself, by his grace. I

would sit, immersed in a strange state in which the mind

would not have a single thought and yet which would be

completely clear. Those were days of deep and calm

happiness. My devotion to Bhagavan took firm roots and

never left me."

 

The author is a lady named Sampurnamma who worked

in the kitchen at Sri Ramansramam (a different author

from the lady I described the same way in the previous

post).
