This ends Chapter 10. ===== Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible Sun within us. ============================================= Ramana Gita [Translation & Commentary by AR Natarajan] Chapter 10 `On Society' V9 Yoganatha asked, `Great Sage, what is the supreme goal to be attained by entire human society?' V10 Bhagavan replied, `Brotherhood based on equality is the supreme goal of human society'. V11 Through brotherhood peace and amity will prevail among mankind and the world will flourish like a single household. Commentary The Maharshi has placed before humanity a lofty ideal. The inter- relationship is to be on a feeling of oneness, of equality. This is the most important verse of this chapter and it visualises the position as to how the world would be if all are wise. Ramana has earlier referred to `equality' as the hallmark of the wise.* It has been explained there that equality does not mean the absence of difference but awareness of the essential unity. Brotherhood would mean the presence of a feeling of oneness. [*Ramana Gita Ch1-v16] V12 This conversation between the ascetic Yoganatha and the compassionate Ramana took place on the 15th of August 1917. - - - - - - - --- -- - -- --- - - --- - ---- -- ---- - Chapter 10 Concluded.
