ON CUTTING THE KNOT

 

SRI RAMANA GITA CHAPER 9

 

KRISHNA BHIKSHU TRANS.

 

 

6.Electricity and similar forces which are subtle,

 

pass through the gross wires.

 

Similarly the light of active consciousness passes through a nadi [nerve] in the

body .

 

7.The effulgent light of active-consciousness starts at a point,

 

and gives light to the whole body,

 

even as the Sun does to the world .

 

 

=====

Life is a pure flame,and we live

by an invisible Sun within us.

===========================================

RAMANA GITA [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

 

Chapter 9 .. . . . . .On Cutting the Knot

 

V6

Just as the unseen electric current passes through the visible

wires, the flame of consciousness flows through the various channels

in the body.

V7

The flame of consciousness , taking hold of a centre, lights up the

entire body just as the sun illuminates the whole world.

 

Commentary

Two apt analogies have been given by Ramana who explains in these

verses and the subsequent three verses the mode of the flow of

consciousness from the Heart to different parts of the body. The

Heart remains in its seat, unswerving, but from it emanates the

consciousness of the body in the same way as the sun lights the

world. `The Self is the electricity, dynamo, the mind is the contact

switchboard, while the body is the bulb.'* The link is through

various channels termed `nadis'.

[*Conscious Immortality – Paul Brunton –P81]
