Dear Murthy ,

I think we have to be very cautious before criticising sadhaks

who attempt to clarify their understanding of the teaching through

writing and then pass it on to any others who may wish to benefit

from it .From Letters From Sri Ramanasramam by Suri

Nagamma who was in effect Bhagavan's secretary for many

years ,we learn that he never discouraged devotees from writing

about his teachings whether enlightened or not .He attentively

read all manuscripts and poetry submitted and would correct

where needed but never negated the effort .in fact the Classics

Ramana Gita and Sat Darshana by K with the cooperation of

Ganapati Muni were written prior to their Enlightenment and

discussed with Ramana.From K's diaries we read no changes

were deemed necessary .He approved these books which

turned out to be masterpieces of Ramana Literature which were

then published by the Ashram .

 

Personally I find Richard's efforts a very helpful series for all

those practicing Self Enquiry through the accepted approach of

Discrimination by negating what is not the Self {as set out in Self

Enquiry by Ramana].He raises a series of questions which lead

to enquiry from many original and varied angles of approach

which will bring the questioner back to his True Nature ..As a

writer myself I know that one needs copyright protection

especially when using the internet .

 

i suppose all our postings are writings aimed at clarifying our

understanding .Where would the Mountain Path have been if a

Arthur Osborne and Sri Ganesan had to wait for contributions

only from Jnanis ?

Dear Alan,

Very encouraging also.

 

The new Mountain Path just arrived in a new outfit. Will post something out of it in the

evening.
