Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Questioner: What is the relation of 'I' to the body? Bhagavan Ramana: You came up from the bungalow this morning in a cart, yet you do not say, 'The cart came up." You say "'I' came up." You do not make the mistake of identifying yourself with the cart. In the same way, look upon your body as you do the cart. Treat it well, and it will be a good servant and instrument. But do not be deceived into thinking it is 'I'. He again stressed the necessity to see only the Self in everything. Act automatically, so to speak, and let 'it' do the work. "And 'It' always will", he added. "Do not look for results. Do what is right in the given moment and leave it behind you." >From the section: "EGO AND THE SELF" (pages 24-25) in the book, "MORE DOUBTS AND 100 MORE ANSWERS ," compiled and edited by A.R. Natarajan. Published by Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning, Bangalore, India. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
