Vasanas

[Guest guest]

>From a Sadhu's Reminiscences by Sadhu Arunachala .

 

P.22

 

Good and bad are found eventually to be only relative terms.Self-enquiry is

found to be no more

than the discarding of Vasanas .So long as onr single Vasana remains , good or

bad , so long must

we remain unrealised .

This reminds me of an incident that happened at the time of the celebration

of the fiftieth

anniversary of Bhagavan's arrival in Tiruvannamalai , when Bhagavan pointed out

that it was a good

thing to let the Vasanas to come out .It is useless to bottle them up and let

them go on gathering

strength inside .The consequences of doing which would prove fatal in the end.

One of the old disciples had been causing a lot of trouble and annoyance to

people by

constantly pushing himself forward as of more importance than the

rest.Eventually the Manager

went to talk to Bhagavan privately and ask him what he should do about it

..Bhagavan listened

without a word and then when he had finished remarked 'Yes,it's his Vasanas,it's

a good thing to

let them come out ."And that was all .Excellent philosophy no doubt but not much

consolation for

the Manager .
