robbery and beating at the ashrama

[Guest guest]

Dear friends:

This is a preview to tomorrows post as I have to be out a lot.

I post it tomorrow morning.

Love,

At the request of the devotees Ramana would recall and explain in graphic detail

many incidents in his life. However, we find that there has been no reference to

this incident by him. For all purposes it was a non-event for him which was over

once and for all. By this example Ramana had demonstrated the need for strict

adherence by renunciates to the principle of ahimsa, non-injury. Its importance

also springs from the fact that Ramana accepted everyone as they were without

any judgment. Hence he did not attach any importance to the cruelty of the

robbers. To him they were merely ignorant and misguided men. Hence to them also

his heart flowed in love in equal measure.
