I AM NOT AND WILL HAVE TO WORK 10 HOURS PER DAY FOR 10 YEARS TO REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IN A FEW MOMENTS. NOW THERE WILL BE LOTS OF SOULS HERE THAT WILL SAY THAT MY LIMITING MODELS ARE PREVENTING REALIZATION. THAT MAY BE TRUE, BUT I WILL NOT ACCEPT REALIZATION OF THE SELF UNLESS I WORK FOR IT. IF RAMANA OR GOD OFFERED IT TO ME RIGHT NOW I WOULD REFUSE IT POINT BLANK." Dear Alton I have quoted your words above without repeating the whole story - I could not help responding, and I hope you will accept what I say in the affectionate spirit in which it is offered- it seems odd that you are practising self-inquiry on the one hand, and on the other are so determined to feel that your practise is more important than the goal? IT is not going to be offered to you - it is already there, and the offer would surely mean, do YOU want to 'be there' as well, or do you want to give up your personal sense? Or have I misunderstood you and the teachings altogether? It appears to me that 'REFUSE IT POINT BLANK' means YOU are determined to 'be there', practising.
