Talks , 273 - Arunachala

[Guest guest]

273.

 

Dr. Syed asked: I have been reading the Five Hymns. I

find that the hymns are addressed to Arunachala by

you.

You are an Advaitin. How do you then address God as a

separate Being?

 

M.: The devotee, God and the Hymns are all the Self.

 

D.: But you are addressing God. You are specifying

this Arunachala Hill as God.

 

M.: You can identify the Self with the body. Should

not

the devotee identify the Self with Arunachala?

 

D.: If Arunachala be the Self why should it be

specially picked out among so many other hills? God is

everywhere. Why do you specify Him as Arunachala?

 

M.: What has attracted you from Allahabad to this

place? What has attracted all these people around?

 

D.: Sri Bhagavan.

 

M.: How was I attracted here? By Arunachala. The Power

cannot be denied. Again, Arunachala is within and not

without. The Self is Arunachala.
