Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 >From the Mountain Path, 1, 2003: out of an upublished manuscript from B.V.Narasimha Swami: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaveripatnam Postmaster Narayansamier waits on Maharshi for days and before parting mentions his condition. "I am possessed by sudden fears. What am I to do?" M: Who fears? N: E.g. I am afraid I will get disease? M: Who gets disease? Do you get it? N: Of course it is the body, it is my body gets it. M: If you analyse what you are, you see that disease can not affect you? N: I fear death, sometimes. M: What are you? Do you die? Can you die? N: I am Atma & the Atma is immortal. M: Think of that. Realise that. N: I try; but that does not remain in the mind long. M: Practice, long practice makes perfect. N: Meanwhile there is suffering. M: There need not be any suffering - your vichara keeps off the suffering also. N: The mind requires to be strengthened. Pray strengthen my mind. M: Go, without fear.
