Swaminathan and Visvanatha ===== Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible Sun within us. ======================================================== Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan] Chapter 14 `Jivan Mukti' V5 There is no difference in the experience of one liberated while alive and that heard of in the Vedas, of one who goes to Brahmaloka and gets liberated there. V6 The experience of a great person whose life force merges in the Self at the time of death is the same as that of the above two. Commentary Many ripe persons are absorbed in the Self at the time of death either by strength of their past good actions or by the grace of God or the blessings of a Sadguru. Ramana clarifies that they too are on par with those who were liberated while in the body, or those who get liberated in `Brahmaloka'. It would be worth recalling here that the Maharshi liberated his mother, Azhagammal. On the day of her liberation he went into her room in the morning and sat by her side. Throughout the day he had his right hand on her spiritual heart and his left on her head. By his grace all the remaining tendencies, which would have given rise to future births, were pushed back into the Heart. So, when the end came it became an absorption of the life force and thought force into the Heart. A liberation, not death.* [*Bhagavan Ramana and Mother – p40] ====== anu __________ > Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" > your friends today!
