Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Thanks Vicki! I will pass this on to . Swami Yogaananda's visit to Arunachala and meeting with Sri Ramana is really quite unique! Has anyone wondered why Babaji did not come up in the conversation? Love to all Harsha viorica weissman [viorica] Saturday, March 23, 2002 8:57 PM RamanaMaharshi; SriArunachala [RamanaMaharshi] Talks - 29/11/1935 - Swami Yogananda Later the yogi asked : How is the spiritual uplift of the people to be effected ? What are the instructions to be given them ? Maharshi: They differ according to the temperaments of the individuals and the spiritual ripeness of their minds. There cannot be any instruction enmasse. Yogananda: Why does God permit suffering in the world? Should He not with His omnipotence do away with it at one stroke and ordain the universal realisation of God? Maharshi: Suffering is the way for Realisation of God. Yogananda: Should He not ordain it differently? Maharshi: It is the way. Yogananda: Are yoga, religion, etc., antidotes to suffering? Maharshi: Who suffers? What is suffering? ( No answer. Finally the Yogi rose up, prayed for Sri Bhagavan's blessings for his own work and expressed great regret for his hasty return. He looked very sincere and devoted and even emotional. ) ------------ Talks with Ramana Maharshi ------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
