[Guest guest]

silence of bhagvan was the silence of all creation

IT WAS SIVARATRI DAY. The evening worship at the

Mother's shrine was over.

The devotees had their dinner with Sri Bhagavan, who

was now on his seat; the devotees at His feet sitting

around him.

 

At 8:00 p.m. one of the sadhus stood up, did pranam

(offered obeisance), and with folded hands prayed:

"Today is the Sivaratri Day; we should be highly

blessed by Sri Bhagavan expounding to us the meaning

of the Hymn to Dakshinamurthy (stotra)."

 

Says Bhagavan: "Yes, sit down."

 

The sadhu sat, and all eagerly looked at Sri Bhagavan;

Sri Bhagavan looked at them. Sri Bhagavan sat in his

usual pose, no, poise. No words, no movement, and all

was stillness! He sat still, and all sat still,

waiting. The clock went on striking, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, one, two and three.

Sri Bhagavan sat and they sat. Stillness, calmness,

motionless-not conscious of the body, of space or

time.

 

Thus eight hours passed in Peace, in Silence, in

Being, as It is. Thus was the Divine Reality taught

through the speech of Silence by Bhagavan Sri

Ramana-Dakshinamurthy.

 

At the stroke of 4:00 a.m. Sri Bhagavan quietly said:

"And now have you known the essence of the

Dakshinamurthy Hymn?" All the devotees stood and made

pranam to the holy form of the Guru in the ecstasy of

their Being.
