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

 

Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 12 `On Shakti'

 

V1

On the 19th, Kapali of the Bharadwaja lineage, eminent among the

learned, questioned guru Ramana.

V2

In the daily life of both the wise and the ignorant, one observes

the triad, the seer, seen, and the act of seeing.

V3

Then by what special characteristic is the wise one greater than the

ignorant? Please clarify this doubt of mine.

 

Commentary

It is true that the hall-mark of the wise is their equal vision.

There are no walls separating them from `others' due to their

perception of oneness

In the sahaja or natural state, the wise one cognises the world.

There is no loss of body consciousness. If there is awareness of the

body, then the question would arise as to how his perception is

different from that of the ignorant person who functions with `body-

I am' idea. For the onlooker it would appear prima-facie that for

the wise also the triad, subject, object and act of cognition exist.

The confusion arises because, for all outward purposes, there is no

difference. The differences in the perceptions are explained by

Ramana in the subsequent three verses.
