Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Dear Gabriele , what a beautiful and important text you have chosen .Thanks !I feel for western devotees whose samskaras , vrittis etc , are pretty thick because of our rajastic society that this practice is a great aid .It coincides with the important Eka Sloka {Raman Gita II , 2} considered by many to be the heart of Bhagavan's teaching .I have ordered this Sadhu Om book - as I noticed it on AHAM's latest book list .Thanks too to Alton for telling us about the Muni , without whom we would not have heard about Ramana when we did nor have the Ramana Gita .The Ramana Gita has all the verses {answers to his and others questions} transcribed by the Muni except for the Eka Sloka which is Ramana's own composition .Natarajan has produced a first class edition of the ~Ramana Gita at Bangalore .All love in the joy of our teaching Alan --- Gabriele Ebert <g.ebert wrote: <HR> <html><body> <tt> 204.

If a pearl-diver remains on the shore of the ocean waiting for the roaring waves to subside, will he ever succeed in gathering pearls? If he plunges through the waves on the surface and dives deep into the ocean with a heavy stone tied to his waist, what waves will he find there in the depths?
