"In the first year of my settling in Tiruvannamalai, I remember one afternoon

when I was sitting in the hall

and Bhagavan was explaining a particular spiritual point to me.

During the discussions he asked me to go to one of the two almirahs that were up

against the west wall

and bring him a certain book.

I searched for the book but was unable to find it.

I returned to Bhagavan, informed him of my failure to locate the book, and again

sat down against the south

wall facing him

 

Presently, I saw Bhagavan slowly and majestically walk over to the almirah, open

it, and immediately

pull out the book he asked me to find.

He closed the almirah and, to my surprise, instead of walking back to the couch,

he came and sat on the

floor right next to me, on my left.

He opened the book to the page he wanted me to read and, holding it in his right

hand, held the book

before my face and asked me to read the particular passage.

 

Bhagavan's attendants had told me that his body was like a furnace.

Only then, when he sat so close to me, did I understand what they meant.

I felt spiritual power emenating from his body like an electro dynamo.

I was thrilled to the core of my being."

Thanks Gabriele. I love the reminiscences of Balarama Reddy and the other

devotees. Ramana Is the Heart. One hears of the pull of the Heart. It is a

magic pull. Coming within it's orbit, there can be no out. The Heart makes

everything its Own. Being pulled into the Heart, One Realizes One Is the

Heart and has been so Eternally. That is the simple and pure beauty of

Self-Realization.

 

There are many teachers, but Sage of Arunachala truly has no equals. His

Presence is the Self-Presence. It is Here.

 

Love to all

Harsha

Thanks Harsha,

yes, there is a magic pull, which sometimes can be a very strong bodily feeling

- not only for those,

who lived with him more than fifty years ago.

Sometimes, very unexpectedly, there is something like a happy pain or a prick

felt in the spiritual heart

(right side of the chest) - difficult to describe. You know that? - Sri Ramana

has never

recommended to concentrate on a spot in the body, nevertheless his presence or

the Heart or one's own

true nature - which is all the same - can be a bodily experience.

But the true meaning of the Heart is, what you said: it is what I AM.
