Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 In the centre of the Heart-cave, Brahman shines alone. It is the form of Self experienced directly as 'I-I'. Enter the Heart, through self-enquiry or merging or by breath-control and become rooted as That Verse 3 Whoever understands this verse, uttered by Bhagavan Maharshi, containing the essence of Vedanta, will never again be assailed by doubts at any time. Verse 4 In the first half of the verse Bhagavan has indicated the location of the Self within this visible body, formed of five elements. Commentary .... The location indicated is based on Ramana's own experience. Some points need clarification. ... How can it be said that the unlimited consciousness has a particular location in the body? Again, when everything including the body is in the Self how could the Self be in the body? The answer is that so long as one is identified with the body, everything, be it God or the Self has to be related to it. ... Verse 5 In the first half of the verse itself the nature of experience of Self-knowledge is set out, difference from God denied, direct experience is affirmed, rendering descriptive attributes of the Self-superfluous. Commentary ....the essential identity of individual, God and Self is set out, to be found out experimentally. -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
