Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Dear Alan: so very thankful and grateful to the Grace that led me to this group and folks like you. Maharshi's many statements were direct (and hit the nail right on the head) like the one you gave below. reminded of the story of missing 10th man; after crossing the river, each one in the group of 10 counted a total of 9 leaving themselves out and completely convinced themselves and the others that the 10th person is lost. It took an elderly bystander to show them their incorrect counting method and the false conclusion based on that. He is the Guru who removes the darkness by being the light of Knowledge; and like this anology the Knowledge thus acquired is bound to be instantaneous and irreversible. love, RamanaMaharshi, "Alan Adams-Jacobs <alanadamsjacobs>" <alanadamsjacobs> wrote: > ....Maharshi ......"The Guru does not bring about Self > -Realisation.he simply removes the obstacles to it .The Self is > already realised ..."......
