Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 People imagine that the devotees crowding around a jnani get special favours from him. If a guru shows partiality, how can he ba a jnani? Is he so foolish as to be flattered by people's attendance on him and the service they do? Does distance matter? The guru is pleased with him only who gives himself up entirely, who abandons his ego forever. Such a man is taken care of wherever he may be. He need not pray. God looks after him unasked. The frog lives by the side of the fragrant lotus, but it is the bee who gets the honey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sri Ramana in: Shantamma, Ramana Smrti, 1st ed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
