RAMANA GITA CHAPTER 15. OM, SRAVANA, MANANA, NIDIDHYASANA

 

 

Translation of Prof.K.Swaminathan and Sri Visvanatha Swami

 

Bhagavan:

 

10.Oh Vasishta, both doubt and misunderstanding are dispelled by experience

alone, and not by

hundreds of Scriptures .

 

11.The Scripture dispels the doubt and misunderstanding of one who has Faith.

 

When the Faith weakens a little, they both reappear.

 

12.Oh Vasishta, it is only by experience of Being that they are both eradicated

once for all .

 

Hence firm Abidance in Being is termed Nididhyasana .

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

Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 15 `Sravana Manana Nidhidyasana'

 

V10

Vasistha, doubt and misunderstanding are removed by experience only

and not by hundreds of scriptures.

V11

The scriptures dispel the doubt and misunderstanding of one with

faith, when faith falters even a little, they both revive.

V12

Vasistha , it is only by experience of Self-abidance that they are

both uprooted. For, abidance in Self is said to be abiding as the

Truth.

 

Commentary

Since scriptural knowledge is vicarious and based on faith, it rests

on uncertain foundations. If however, one has experience of Self-

abidance then faith in Truth becomes firm. Then all doubts cease.

The means and the end are not separate since the Self is ever

present and the enquiry and search only enable one to discover it.

Ordinarily, in all individual spiritual effort the Self and seer and

seen are separate. But the Self is the subject, the eye, and

therefore, to think of it can only be to abide as it.*

[*Sat Darshanam V2]
