Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 -Dear Vicki, you like stories and you have brought some stones from the desert with you. So I have to share one for you and all here - about the stone I always wear with me. Once someone has brought me a little stone from mount Arunachala - red colour, not very beautiful looking, but it's the dearest stone I have (and I have a large collection of stones). When I meditate I like to have it in hands. It becomes then very warm, it becomes hot in my hands. At day I put it in my pocket and have it with me wherever I go and whenever I feel I need a reminder for vichara or thinking on Ramana I reach for it. At night I put it under my pillow. That's my little story about Arunachala in my pocket, surely no nondual-highlight. In Sri Ramana Gabriele PS: When the number of Ramana devotees is increasing and everyone visiting Arunachala will carry stones with him, the day will come when Arunachala will disappeared from the landscape.

(laughing) On this day all will realise the (ever present) omnipresence of Sri Arunachalaramana.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Dear Gabriele, It is one of the names of Sri Bhagavan. 'One whose mind is completely merged (absorbed) in the splendour (Light) of the Red Mountain (Sri Arunachala).'

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Dear Gabriele and Viorica: Your fortunate there is no Hawaiian Pele like being that will bring bad luck on you for removing stones. Here in Hawaii those who removed lava rocks from the volcano and decorated their yards with it were retributed when the next lava flow appeared and demolished their homes. Those who returned them were spared as the flow went around them. People who took stones back to the U.S. mainland had similar bad luck stories. With the grace of Ramana you will be spared similar misfortune. May this brighten your day.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 There could be only one "misfortune" one day - when I have hole in my trousers pocket and will lose it.
