Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 The very next day Brunton went to Ramanasraman in the company of Subrahmanya who had earlier praised the Maharshi no end. But Brunton was not aware that he was to find in Ramana, his guru, a unique teacher who would transform his whole life. How could he have imagined that he would be made a vehicle for spreading Ramana's message in the West? So he allotted only a couple of days for staying with Ramana. By setting a tight time frame Brunton had handicapped himself. he wanted quick results. Having pressurized himself with time limits he was unable to understand the purport of the new direction to Self-knowledge taught by Ramana. Nor could he recognize the utmost importance of surrender to the guru for being aware of the guru's enlightening grace. The memorable first meeting was totally unexpected for Brunton. The atmosphere was saturated with an uncommon, silent and magnetic peace. Ramana's eyes were wide open and he seemed to be looking out into space. Brunton too was drawn into this pervasive peace. In the steady river of peace which was flowing, his thought tortured mind rested. After the midday meal Brunton found the opportunity for his first questing and answer session with Ramana. More tomorrow Sri Ramana willing. >From Timeless in Time by Natarajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 No. Brunton actually victimized other people, pretending to be a sage when he was merely looking for a free meal. A tap to www.theHungerSite.com will give somebody a cup of rice.
