Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a very practical and meaningful guidance fro living day to day life. I find this easier than the Yoga vasistha passage to follow. Please let me know if I could read more of the conversation with Bhagavan in any book like talks with Maharishi etc. Sincerely regards gp Alan Jacobs [alanadamsjacobs (AT) (DOT) co.uk]Tuesday, August 05, 2003 1:35 AMTo: ramana maharshi[RamanaMaharshi] From the Sat Darshana Bhashya bu 'K'> > This is Message >I wished to pass on to our Group received from AHAM> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> > > QUESTIONER: But there are some who seem to have had no human Guru at all.> > SRI BHAGAVAN: True.
